Qarmet to commission 540,000-ton long products rolling mill in Kazakhstan

Kazakh steelmaker Qarmet plans to commission a new long products rolling complex at its Temirtau works by the end of 2026. The 540,000-ton annual capacity mill will manufacture high-strength A600 and A1000 rebar, angles, channels and other long steel products.

Chinese engineering firm CERI serves as a technology partner, designing the facility to include a reheating furnace with a capacity of up to 100 tons per hour.

The facility is part of Qarmet's US$3.5 billion modernization program, which covers new coke batteries, a galvanizing and polymer-coating line, and a casting and rolling complex.
