In the 1980’s Bremen Steelworks and ABB’s Pressductor technology load cells started a suc- cessful cooperation leading to a good development with high quality results. As a matter of curiosity the two partners started its operations in the same year more than half a century ago, in 1954. Since a year back ArcelorMittal ”The latest set of Millmate Roll Bremen is conducting an optimi- zation project in the temper mill.
