[SMM Stainless Steel Market Flash] EU Mills Target €2,900/t CRC by End-Q3 as Buyers See No Near-Term Price Drop

Dynaciate’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in the Pasir Gudang Industrial Area of Johor Bahru, Malaysia, covering about 36,000 square meters. The site includes eight production buildings dedicated to stainless steel and carbon steel fabrication. TECO added that the facility is also eligible for export tax incentives that could support future global supply chain deployment.

EU authorities have repeatedly raised concerns over rerouting through third countries to avoid antidumping duties and over distortions associated with subsidized production. If the Commission succeeds in its appeal, the outcome could have broader implications for how the EU applies and enforces anti-circumvention measures in future steel trade cases.

The EU General Court ruled in March 2025 that the Commission had incorrectly classified the processing of Indonesian stainless steel slabs into hot-rolled sheets and coils in Turkey as an “assembly operation,” which is a key condition in anti-circumvention findings. With the case now before the EU’s top court, the legal interpretation of “assembly operation” under EU anti-circumvention rules could be clarified further.
