[SMM Steel Market Flash] Thyssenkrupp cerrará su planta automotriz de Indiana para 2027 y consolidará sus operaciones en EE. UU. en Ohio

Hoa Phat Group has started construction of a VND 2,450 billion steel rolling mill in Long An, now part of Tay Ninh, with a designed capacity of 700,000 tonnes/year, including 679,000 tonnes of construction steel and 21,000 tonnes of billets. The project is scheduled for commissioning in H2 2027 and commercial operation from early 2028, with capacity equivalent to around 19% of southern Vietnam’s construction steel consumption in 2025. Unlike Hoa Phat’s Dung Quat complex, the plant will use electric furnace technology based on scrap steel, with around 80% of its estimated 780,000 tonnes/year scrap requirement expected to be imported. Located near the Vam Co River and a waterway port, the facility is designed to support efficient scrap imports and strengthen Hoa Phat’s supply position in southern Vietnam.
