A steel mill with the ability to produce 500,000 tonnes of steel
plates per year is now operational in the northern province of Thai
Nguyen.
Built on an area of 66,000 square metres at
a total cost of 1.3 trillion VND (over 61 million USD), the mill opened
on August 29 after a successful 40-day trial period.
The mill is expected to satisfy the increasing demand for construction
steel and realise the Government’s 2006-2015 steel development plan. It
is one of the support facilities for a production expansion project of
the Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Joint Stock Corporation.-VNA
