NLMK DanSteel, the leading hot-rolling plate mill in Denmark, is launching an in-house steel service center (DanSteel SCC) to provide its customers across Europe - from the wind power, boiler & pressure vessel, bridge construction and other heavy industries - with an extensive range of oxy cutting operations and other in-demand services.

DanSteel SCC, located on-site in Frederiksvaerk (Denmark), is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and software (certified to EN 1090 - 2 EXC 4) that guarantees maximum speed and exclusive quality of profiling and beveling, providing customers with a unique range of services, including oxy cutting of extra-thick and heavy plates. The service center is an integral part of NLMK Group’s single production chain that ensures quality control at all stages - from steelmaking to direct supply to our end-users.

DanSteel SCC customers enjoy a one-stop-shop and fast-track approach from an idea - a team of CAD professionals creates processing files from drawings - to position sorting and just-in-time door-to-door delivery of pre-fabricated plates by sea, railway or road across Europe to suit the most demanding production schedules. Our Steel Service Center Manager with deep knowledge of SSC processes and a multi-year experience in pre-fabrication ensures a high service level for our customers by monitoring all stages of production, pre-fabrication, logistics and other services, including extra testing and required documentation.
