LONG PRODUCTS BULLETIN - SMS Meer GmbH

The CRS® roller straightener.
To minimize storage requirements on the
site and to save costs we have delivered
the materials and mill components required
for erection ”just-in-time”. In the
peak phase almost 100 specialists worked
around the clock.
Together with the CRS® roller straightener
supplied by us which already went on
stream in 2008, the mill train is now able to
fulfill increased market demands with regard
to flexibility, profitability and quality.
Due to the modernizations by SMS Meer,
the modernization project ”UMIT 2010”
has been completed and the technological
leadership of Peiner Träger GmbH has
been strengthened.
A four-crank shear weighing almost 50 t was placed
onto the bedplate by means of two shop cranes and
one lifting-beam attachment.
Congratulations
40th anniversary
of SMS Meer S.p.A.
On September 25, 2009, SMS Meer
S.p.A. in Tarcento, Italy, has celebrated
its 40th anniversary. A gala evening at
Castello Susanna in the mountains
above the city and a family celebration
on the works premises gave the event a
worthy setting.
Founded in September 1969 as a limited liability
company under the name of ”Industrie
Meccanche Attrezzature Carpentiere”,
the company changed its name in 1973 to
S.I.M.A.C. S.p.A. In 1991, SMS Schloemann-
Siemag took over 50 % of the capital funds
and in 1995 the other half. In April 2005, the
company changed its name to now SMS
Meer S.p.A., responsible for the Light Section
Mills Product Division. The company stands
for a whole series of significant technical innovations
which have contributed to an excellent
reputation of SMS Meer worldwide.
Our guidelines are: focusing on value-creating
technologies, a high level of innovation
