Rautaruukki plans to centralise steel service centre operations and to reorganize the division of work between the units. The service centres in Naantali and Järvenpää (Finland) and in Halmstad (Sweden) will specialise to further improve their delivery accuracy, cost-effectiveness and profitability. Investments totalling EUR 12 million in the service centres will be made as a result of the reorganisation. Delivery capacity of the Naantali service centre will be increased by a new slitting line for special products. This will strengthen Ruukki’s capacity to deliver high-strength and colour-coated steels in particular. The Järvenpää service centre will focus on stainless steel and aluminium products and the Halmstad service centre in Sweden will increase its own cutting of carbon steels instead of partly contracting.
