Vinton Steel has signed a new contract with Tenova, a leading developer and supplier of sustainable solutions for the metals industry, to deliver a walking hearth reheating furnace. This marks a significant step in the companies’ ongoing technological collaboration and reinforces their commitment to innovation in high-quality steel production.
The new furnace will be engineered to meet process requirements of high-carbon steel billets that are used to manufacture large-diameter grinding media.
Designed to operate alongside the new Green CityMill™ Flex — a recently announced project that will increase Vinton Steel’s rebar production capacity up to 400,000 tons per year — the new reheating furnace will play a key role in supporting the company’s growth strategy. The Green CityMill™ Flex project represents one of the most efficient and sustainable long products production platforms available on the market today. The reheating furnace is scheduled for commissioning in parallel with the Green City Mill™ Flex startup in the first half of 2027.
