Union
Electric Steel is continually developing new chemistry and heat
treatment combinations to provide new products with increased value for
the ferrous and nonferrous industries.
Our
global customer base is served by a highly trained staff of sales
engineers. Practical and innovative problem solving is the core of our
customer service program. Training seminars provide an ongoing
education of current development in both roll technology and roll
maintenance. Union Electric Steel provides the roll user with not only
the highest level of technology, but also an unparalleled level of
after-sales service.
In
August of 1999, Union Electric Steel purchased The Davy Roll Company.
Based in England, The Davy Roll Company
is a recognized leader in the cast roll market.
Union Electric Steel Corporation, together with
The Davy Roll Company, are synonymous with Excellence in Forged and
Cast Roll Technology. Together the two companies produce 55,000 metric
tons of rolls annually, making it one of the world’s largest roll
producers.
In May 2007, Union Electric Steel consummated a
Joint Venture contract with Maanshan Iron & Steel Company,
Limited, one of China’s largest steel companies. The Joint Venture will
manufacture up to 10,000 metric tons annually of forged hardened steel
back-up rolls, larger in size and weight than Union Electric Steel can
currently produce. It will be early in 2010 when production is expected
to commence. Union Electric Steel will have exclusive marketing and
sales rights throughout the world and has a forty-nine percent interest
in the Joint Venture.
