The customer is an Egyptian steel manufacturer who is building a new steel mill including a 165-t electric arc and a 165-t ladle furnace as well as a 6-strand billet caster in Sadat City – half way between Cairo and Alexandria.

The positive experience with KSB products and services gained in other plants prompted the plant operator to place this order with KSB. Delivery will be effected in two lots and completed by February 2009.
