DanSteel A/S was established in 2002 in continuation of Danish Steel Works Ltd., which was founded in 1940. DanSteel produces around half a million tonnes of hot rolled steel heavy plates and maintains up-to-date customized production facilities. The total number of employees at DanSteel A/S is 385 as at 31 December 2006, with 310 employees in the production and 75 salaried staff.
DanSteel A/S' production facilities consist of a rolling mill and services in the form of shot blasting and priming, marking, tests, burn and plasma cutting. The new hot-leveller will be fully operational by the end of 2006. The slabs represent nearly 80% of DanSteel A/S cost structure. NLMK has a long-standing client relationship with DanSteel, being its major supplier of quality steel slabs since 2002.
The product range includes structural steel, shipbuilding steel and steel for boilers and pressure vessels. DanSteel A/S can offer its customers plates with up to 15 tonnes as well as thicknesses with up to 125 mm. The company has its own harbour from where approximately 70% of its production is loaded on coasters and transported directly to the customers. In January 2006 NLMK acquired a 100% stake of DanSteel A/S.
In 2005, DanSteel A/S has implemented an Energy Management System, which is certified according to Danish Standard DS2403-2001. Production methods are continuously modernised, and the primary source of energy today is natural gas.
