Wuppermann Austria GmbH commissions new roll forming line in Judenburg
Steel processor Wuppermann Austria GmbH commissioned a new roll forming line at its Austrian site in Judenburg in March 2023. The total investment for the construction of the new plant amounts to 13 million euros. The specialist for galvanized products for the highest corrosion protection requirements is thus significantly expanding its manufacturing capabilities and production capacities.
The new roll forming line with automatic packaging line offers a wider range of dimensions and thus also a wider range of products: WA can now produce larger cross-sections and thus offer its customers a wide production range of welded profiles with complex geometries as well as open profiles with a significantly wider range of profile widths and heights.
This is how much CO2 you save with our strip galvanizing line in Judenburg!
