Paul Wurth placed the order for the delivery of two stamping trains to the coke oven plant of Inner Mongolia Guangju New Material Co., Ltd. with Dalian Huarui Heavy Industry Coke Oven Machinery & Vehicle Co. Ltd. The agreement includes supervision in addition to engineering and procurement.

The stamping trains required for this project were obtained by this customer during the previous two years. With this new order, they are expressing their happiness with Paul Wurth technology, which has shown to be incredibly dependable, robust over time, and especially adaptable due to the interchangeability of the stamping units and spare parts.

Paul Wurth's technique is extremely efficient and cost-effective because stamping time is minimised. The last phase, which is scheduled to begin in November 2023, has already had the first phase commissioned.
