Fives introduces steel offer
at Galvatech
FIVES has attended the 9th Galvatech
Trade Show in Beijing. Both a world-
class trade show and conference cycle,
it attracts the biggest names in the steel
industry.
This year’s edition coincided with
the second 2013 APGalva, an event
focused on galvanising in the Asia-
Pacific region.
Galvatech brings to light all the
latest technologies and advances in
the sheet steel sector, including both
production and applications. Galvatech
conferences feature presentations by
experts and appearances by industry
leaders, making it a genuine forum
for trading information on galvanising
techniques.
At this year’s event, Fives, through
a KEODS representative, presented
an article on the techniques, methods
and tools used to efficiently and
reliably produce steel parts for exposed
sections and guarantee high-quality
steel.
KEODS, which joined Fives in late
2012, is a company that specialises in
advanced steel industry consulting to
improve the quality of flat carbon steel
products. The skill set KEODS provides
has enhanced Fives’ steel offer and
supplied unique recognised expertise
in the steel industry, specifically in
carbon flat products for the automotive
sector.
KEODS’ expertise lies essentially
in its extensive knowledge of the
steelmaking process, which forms the
basis of its consultancy services on
the upstream side of the production
process (in the line start-up phase) and
the downstream side (through operation
support). It also uses proprietary
steelmaking process management
and steel coil production management
software.
At its booth, Fives also presented its
complete steel offer – machinery, full
lines and expertise – that stretches from
the reheating furnace to the finishing
equipment for all types of steel.
More than 1,000 Fives employees
around the world are employed
in order to meet the demands of
steel giants and provide them with
innovative, performance-enhancing
solutions and equipment. Alongside
the event, Fives will be hosting a
technical seminar for its customers in
order to help showcase its know-how
and latest innovations, specifically on
line integration, combustion systems,
cooling technologies and automotive
certification for steel.
