Avesta

Duplex stainless steel was invented in Avesta in 1930. That heritage continues today in a facility housing a melt shop, hot rolling mill, cold rolling mill and finishing lines, and its vital Group R&D centre.

The Avesta mill specializes in thick and wide materials (2-meter-wide coil and sheet) and special grades in the Forta, Ultra and Therma ranges. In addition to finished coil products, Avesta delivers black hot band to sites in Nyby, Sweden, and in Germany, as well as slabs to Degerfors for quarto plate production. 

Avesta Prefab operations specialize in producing blanks for suction roll shell, heavy plate fabrication, press and roll forming of quarto plates, welding and heat treatment. 

Avesta Press Plate is a highly advanced manufacturer of customized press plates, ready-to-use plates for the hardboard industry, and semi-finished niche plates for the laminate industry.
