ArcelorMittal Duisburg Launches New Warehouse for Wire Rods

After just seven months of construction, steel producer ArcelorMittal Duisburg put the new Coillager hall in Ruhrort into operation this week, eight weeks earlier than planned. ArcelorMittal invested 5.8 million euros in hall construction in order to further strengthen the Ruhrort location for the future. The new hall, with a total area of around 12,500 square meters, 182.5 meters by 69 meters, and a height of 17 meters, has more than enough space to accommodate around 10,000 tonnes of wire rod coils for storage before shipment. In the course of the new building, the surrounding infrastructure was also adapted to the requirements: 4,500 square meters of streets and squares for access were built, old parking lots relocated, new ones created and a shipping office built.



The state-of-the-art storage facility also has energy-efficient lighting with more than 200 LED lights, which is significantly more energy efficient than the old hall at Hochfeld.
