 | | On Wednesday, Handan Iron and Steel Group (Hangang), the 10th largest steel maker in China announced on its official website that it received approval to launch a 4.6 million ton high-end steel plate project. |
 | | Hangang will also eliminate out-of-date facilities, and cut down on low value-added capacities, including 1.71 million tons of iron smelting capacity, 2.14 million tons of steel smelting capacity, and 2.04 million tons of rolling capacity. |
