KNSS will build a galvanising, annealing and processing line (GAPL), which is a manufacturing process integrating the functions of both a continuous annealing line and continuous galvanising line.
GAPL is equivalent to the equipment now in operation at NSSMC’s plant and which is capable of producing high-grade, cold-rolled, hot-dip galvanised and galvannealed steel sheets, including those for automotive outer panels and high-strength steel.
