Production breakdown in Oxelösund to result in further delay
On December 15, a production breakdown occurred at SSAB Special Steels’ plant in Oxelösund. The breakdown occurred with restarting the rolling mill after the planned annual maintenance outage. The breakdown was due to a short circuit in a transformer. Since the transformer type is tailored for the rolling mill in Oxelösund and is not available at the supplier’s, the transformer must be renovated. This means that the unplanned outage will be longer than earlier announced.“We will naturally do everything we can to offset the negative impacts. The hardening lines in Oxelösund can be supplied
