New Technology Galvanizing of Steel

The company s objective was to galvanize steel products of constant cross-section, such as reinforcing and structural steel, tubes, wire, and so on, on a more compact production line, using up to two to three times less zinc, with reduced energy consumption and the suppression of all forms of pollution.
