It will be fed by a 160 tonne per heat Daniell Centro Combustion walking hearth reheating furnace, which will be directly connected to the existing continuous caster for direct hot charging of billets.
ArcelorMittal purchased the company, formerly known as Huta Lucchini Warszawa, from Lucchini in August 2005.
