This ultra modern plant located at the frontier between Charleroi and Châtelet makes stainless steel flat products. Steel is produced in a brand new electric arc furnace, continuously casted and reheated in three furnaces. The first stage of the rolling process is the roughing stand, followed by a group of eight quarto stands.

I would like to express my gratitude to the co-workers and the management of CARLAM (ARCELOR) for the excellent visit and permission to photograph.
