PSImetals to Control Production at Austrian Foil Rolling Mill

The two foil rolling mills at the Weinburg plant provide different kinds of foils for major customers and the company's group. In 2007, Rolling Mill II was integrated with a fully-automated transportation control technology to extend capacity. With the implementation of PSImetals the new rolling stand, the cut-off machines, raw band and finishing forges will be integrated. This will allow for a quick reaction to changes, adherence to delivery dates and greater transparency while simultaneously reducing stocks.
