Part of Tata Steel, the company has capacity for production of 50-60 kT of steel each year, with 90 percent being exported to Europe and Asia. Its customers include automotive manufacturers, producers of industrial motors and generators – including ABB – and companies producing domestic appliances such as vacuum cleaners.
