Kakogawa Works annealing line.
Location
The project is located at Kobe Steel’s Kakogawa Works, in West Japan.

Project Description
The project entails the construction of a new continuous annealing line for steel sheet in response to the growing demand for auto-motive ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS).
