Tenova and Sanbao Group partner on a new silicon steel project for high-grade NGO annealing and coating heat treatment lines
Tenova LOI Thermprocess, together with Tenova Technologies (Tianjin), recently signed three contracts with the Sanbao Group for the supply of three Annealing and Coating Lines (ACL) for NGO silicon steel. The signing ceremony, held at Sanbao Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.’s headquarters in Zhangzhou, China, was attended by Wang Guangwen, Chairman, and Dong Guibo, Vice General Manager of Sanbao Group as well as Tenova LOI Thermprocess’ Sascha Bothen, Senior Vice President of Sales, and Wolfgang Eggert, General Sales Manager.
The supply of the three ACLs for NGO silicon steel heat treatment furnaces marks a significant milestone for Sanbao Group as it enters the silicon steel production sector. In addition, these ACLs are part of the “Cold rolled Silicon Steel and Metal Products Deep Processing Project”, Sanbao’s ambitious new greenfield project aimed at producing high-quality, non-grain oriented electrical steel with superior surface and magnetic properties for the Southeast China market.
The contracts include the design, supply, and commissioning of advanced process equipment, highlighting the strong cooperation between Tenova and the Sanbao Group. Additionally, two electric arc furnaces (EAF) supplied by Tenova have been successfully put into operation and are running smoothly.
Founded in 1999, the Sanbao Group has grown into a comprehensive modern steel-leading enterprise, with both long and short processes and advanced equipment in China and abroad. With over 5,000 employees and fixed assets exceeding 20 billion yuan, the group was recognized in 2023 as one of the "Top 500 Enterprises in China" and was honored as a "National High-tech Enterprise" and “National Green Factory,” among other awards.
