Essar Steel Plate Mills has forayed into European markets with an order for Essar branded plates.
The company has bagged the order for supply of 1,200 tonne of plates. The company recently shipped its first consignment of 600 tonne of 'Rockstar' plates to Turkey, for building tipper bodies for heavy trucks. Essar Steel Plate Mills has already inked an MoU with the buyer for the supply of 20,000 tonne of plates, which will be serviced by October 2014.
In 2013, the company had launched branded plate products which serve a variety of applications. Among these is 'Rockstar', a quenched and tempered steel grade, which falls in the category of value added goods (VAGs).
