EMW: even greater efficiency
Inauguration of the new slitting line

Changes on the global steel market with its ever shorter trade cycles and great price and volume fluctuations are now an ever-present experience. As a national and international steel service centre, EMW is facing new challenges.



Perfect product quality requires topclass technology. The investment in a new slitting line now enables the processing of greater material thicknesses of between 0.5 and 4 mm. The high-tensile grades increasingly used by the automotive industry for reducing vehicle weight can now be processed in much greater volumes. In addition to these new capabilities, using the new slitter setup robot will further improve dimensional accuracy and cutting quality.

The width of the required slit strips can also be programmed via the control system. In full compliance with the process safety standards required by DIN ISO/9001:2000, the technical parameters of our production facilities speak for themselves.

It is our customers who profit from the optimisation of processing procedures. High levels of flexibility, speed, fast delivery times and an experienced team, who are able to offer assistance in the choice of the appropriate steel grades, all blend together to ensure products of firstclass quality.

Central to EMW’s competitive advantages is its extensive storage facilities, coupled with speed and flexibility. The construction of hall 13 now sees EMW’s storage capacity (up to now, 30,000 m²) extended by another 2,550 m². The special steel-concrete construction for storing coils has 10.77 m average headroom as well as two gate entrances to optimize loading and unloading capacities. A Kübler warehouse heating system ensures the required temperatures are constantly maintained. For draining the floor space and the access area surrounding the hall, a trough/trench system has been installed.
