The relocation of ERW/HFI mill from the SOVEL plant (Almiros, Magnissia) to Thisvi Plant was completed in 2013. The mill has an annual production capacity of 150,000 tons, outside diameter range from 2’’ to 7 5/8’’, steel grade up to S355J2H and wall thickness range from 3.00 to 10.00 mm. The steel pipes of 7 5/8’’ ERW/HFI mill are widely used in construction sector, networks and drilling. The mill was manufactured by the German company SMS-MEER.
