Legnano to set-up first ME electrical steel plant in Jafza

Italy-based, Legnano Teknoelectric Company S.P.A will establish its first manufacturing plant in the Middle East at the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). The company specialises in processing grain oriented electrical steel, high permeability, laser treated electrical steel and non-oriented electrical steel. The manufacturing plant, covering an area of 27,500 square- metres, will process grain oriented electrical steel, from coils right up to fully built magnetic cores for distribution and electrical power transformers. The facility will have an 80 metric-tonnes lifting capacity, processing thousands of metric tonnes of electrical steel a month including conventional grade, high permeability, laser treated and non-oriented electrical steel. The new facility, scheduled to open by 2012, is said to employ cutting-edge technology to deliver products in just a few days to markets in Asia and the Middle East, which are currently three or four weeks away by sea.Nike Ambassador VIII 8
