Graz, 14 February 2008.  During the last two months, international 
technology group Andritz received several major orders for stainless 
steel annealing and pickling lines, rolling mills, and acid 
regeneration systems from renowned international stainless steel 
producers.  The total value of these orders is approximately EUR 250 
million.  With the receipt of these orders, Andritz once again 
strengthened its position as one of the world´s leading suppliers of 
custom-tailored and technologically advanced manufacturing systems 
for the stainless steel industry.
To the ThyssenKrupp Stainless Group Andritz will supply two 
cold-rolling mills, a cold-rolled strip annealing and pickling line, 
and an acid regeneration system.  The two S-6 high rolling mills will
be integrated in the newly-built hot-rolled strip annealing and 
pickling line of ThyssenKrupp´s affiliate AST, Terni mill, Italy.  
The new ThyssenKrupp stainless steel mill in Alabama, USA, will be 
equipped with an Andritz annealing and pickling line for cold-rolled 
strip of up to 1,890 mm in width.  To the ThyssenKrupp mill in 
Krefeld, Germany, Andritz will supply a regeneration plant based on 
the Andritz Pyromars process for used mixed acids from stainless 
steel pickling.  The plant will be put into operation during the 
second Quarter of 2009 and will make an essential contribution toward
environmental protection.
Salem Steel, a subsidiary of SAIL, India´s largest steel group, 
awarded Andritz an order to supply a combined annealing and pickling 
line for hot-rolled and cold-rolled stainless strip including a 
regeneration plant for used mixed acids.  It is the first 
regeneration system of this kind in India and markedly reduces 
production effluents, thus significantly contributing to the 
protection of the environment.  The lines are scheduled to start up 
in December 2009.
Jindal Stainless, India´s largest stainless steel strip producer, 
ordered annealing and pickling lines for hot-rolled and cold-rolled 
strip for the new stainless steel mill in Orissa, India.  Both lines 
incorporate special S-6 high cold-rolling mills to enable production 
of final products in one manufacturing process.  The annealing and 
pickling line for hot-rolled strip with integrated S-6 high 
cold-rolling mill will have an annual capacity of 850,000 tons and 
produce strip with a width of up to 1,650 mm in the thickness range 
1.4-10 mm. The annealing and pickling line for cold-rolled strip 
incorporates three S-6 high cold-rolling mills and a skinpass mill; 
it will have an annual capacity of 450,000 tons and produce strip 
with a width of up to 1,650 mm in the thickness range 0.3-5 mm.  
Start-up of the plants will be during the first half of 2010.
