In order to serve the international market, especially with regard to special alloys, Termomecanica begins the year with two new continuous casting lines in full operation. Installed in unit I, in São Bernardo do Campo (SP), will allow to increase the productive capacity of the unit to up to 190 thousand tons per year. The investments of the order of R $ 20 million were allocated to the acquisition of furnaces and installation infrastructure.
"We believe in the importance of continuing to innovate in order to expand opportunities and offer value-added products to our customers. In this context, investments are crucial, especially in technology that provides cost adjustment, continuous improvement of quality and working conditions "explains Luiz Henrique Caveagna, director of Industrial Operations at Termomecanica."
Exports have become representative in the company's business over the last few years, and the American market is now a major consumer of specialty alloys, whose manufacturing could be boosted by these investments. The index has grown over two digits annually: in 2016, the volume sold to the foreign market was 13% higher than in 2015 and, in 2017, whose result has not yet been accounted for, growth is expected to be around 20%.
One of these foundry lines focuses on the production of binary brass alloys, made up of Copper and Zinc, with applications ranging from electrical terminals to the automotive segment, through parts that will undergo lighter fills and stamping, to more demanding processes that require severe deformations. The second line of ovens is dedicated to the special alloys of Brass with Phosphorus and brass with Lead, that are applicable in the manufacture of terminals that need resistance to repetitive movements. In addition, the new structure will also benefit the production of laminated sheets and strips.
