Vietnam-Italy Steel, a subsidiary of Japan’s Kyoei Steel Group, has commissioned a new high-speed rolling mill in Hai Phong, northern Vietnam, with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons of rebar ranging from 10 to 51 mm in diameter.
Supplied by Danieli as a greenfield project, the mill produces high-quality rebar using quenching and self-tempering hot-rolling processes. A six-pass multidrive, twist-free finishing block ensures precise dimensions, while Sund Birsta’s automated wire-binding machines deliver consistent bundle shape.
Integrated with the upgraded caster, the mill operates in billet-to-billet direct-charge mode, using Danieli’s Q-Heat induction heaters to equalize billet temperature, reducing carbon emissions and supporting greener production.
