Marcegaglia Group is a pioneer in the global steel industry, specialised in steel product transformation. In August 2024, Marcegaglia tasked Primetals Technologies with a comprehensive modernization of the existing spout-type electric arc furnace (EAF) plant and its dedusting system. The order came after a recent study executed by Primetals Technologies, which was focused on optimizing measures for the meltshop aimed at increased productivity.
Marcegaglia’s Sheffield site, a U.K. leader in green steel production, will see further efficiency and environmental improvements through this EAF upgrade project. Primetals Technologies’ modernization of the EAF plant will further enhance the plant’s efficiency and ecological compatibility. To ensure a short downtime, larger furnace components will be preassembled, and completion is scheduled for mid-2026. With this new EAF, Marcegaglia aims to increase plant productivity to over 500,000 tons per year of stainless steel products, which will be further processed within Marcegaglia Group.
