More productivity and quality with CSP^®. Whatever you produce, whether quality grades or mass-market steels, strip steels with properties specially geared to their use are the future. You meet these demands with our CSP^® plants. The initials stand for Compact Strip Production. More exactly, this name denotes a continuous process during which liquid steel is directly processed into thin or ultra-thin hot strip – significantly thinner than 1.0 mm and in semi-endless operation with slab lengths of more than 260 meters.

A small window of opportunity. Not just its compact design makes this economical and highly productive plant solution something else. Even more important is the skill of using state-of-the-art technology to keep the steel within a precisely defined window of temperature, pressure and tension. Only then can you exactly achieve the metallurgical properties you require. Equally important within this package are our patented CSP^® mold with hydraulic oscillation, the CVC^® plus technology applied during the rolling process as well as our process models for strip flatness and thickness control. Their smooth meshing due to our X-Pact^® automation gives you first-class strip qualities.
