Operations begun<br />
The Steel Americas business area ramped up its plants and began operations in the past fiscal year. Almost<br />
all of the facilities are in operation. As the ramp-up progressed we continuously expanded and optimized the<br />
spectrum of premium flat steel products. The quality of our premium steel grades is meeting with a strong<br />
response from our North American customers. The customer base currently mainly comprises steel service<br />
centers, the appliance industry and the tube sector.<br />
Due to the ramp-up of production, orders and sales increased strongly in the course of 2010/2011. Order<br />
intake reached €1,293 million, sales €1,139 million. In total, 1.2 million tons of flat steel were sold on the<br />
North American market and first sales of hot dip galvanized sheet were also made.<br />
