Brand new machines, talented people and… great customers – all gathered in Differdange

Differdange mill is one of the ‘jewel’ assets of Long Products Europe and it supplies world-class jumbo beams across the world. My team and I are very happy to welcome you to commemorate the installation of the world’s largest roller straightener for sections in the Differdange mill- a moment of great pride for all of us. We are confident that with this investment, the Differdange Mill will continue to serve your needs and provide the best product and service.
Augustine Kochuparampil CEO Long products Europe

The finishing area is an important part of the quality chain for high added value products featured in landmark buildings all around the world – from the One World Trade Center in NYC to the Shanghai Financial Center. After going through the Electric arc furnace, the continuous casting and the rolling mill, the beams are there reinforced through the QST (Quenching and Self-Tempering) process and then straightened, cut into customer length, marked, and shipped.

Our new finishing line was the best opportunity to invite our most loyal customers all over the world in Luxembourg.

Important delegations especially from Mexico, Spain, Northern countries and East are strongly convinced our performing Differdange mill will support their construction projects.
