OREANDA-NEWS. April 21, 2008. The Uzbek-German OSC JV Deutsche Kabel AG Tashkent launched production of high-tensile die-rolled section reinforcement which Uzbekistan used to import from Russia, Ukraine and China, reported the Official website www.investuzbekistan.uz.

The Deutsche Kabel AG Tashkent’s authorities inform that by the end of 2008 the company plans to produce nearly 50 thousand tons of high-tensile reinforcement of B500C class with diameter between 6 and 12 millimeters. It lets to fill up the not only home market, but also export part of product to foreign countries.

The production of the new type of B500C reinforcement of small die-rolled section uses special steel smelting technology, with cold deformation. The problem of manufacturing new product came up after successful launching of production of bracing wires for cotton bales for Uzbek cotton industry, under the localization program.

Upon marketing research in the market of steel, specialists of the Deutsche Kabel AG Tashkent came to a conclusion that the demand for this product is stably high and remain so in mid-term future.

The company decided to take its position in production of steel reinforcement by importing cold metal rolling technologies and setting up new technological line for producing reinforcement of different diameters in the company. In late 2007 such a production line was launched and the first product was delivered to exchange.

The reinforcement of such class ensures efficient consumer qualities in manufacturing ferroconcrete goods, especially such as welding characteristics, high ductility and long lifetime. In addition, resistance of the new reinforcement to tension and compression is higher than that of AIII and this feature will cut the use of reinforcement by 10-15%.

The Deutsche Kabel AG Tashkent was established on the basis “Electrosignal” scientific industrial association which basically specialized in production of special cables and wires that would be useful in various complexes of hardware for analyzing and researching the world ocean and earth interior.

The enterprise can manufacture and deliver carrying cables of various diameters with different quantities of cords and strength and other types of cables and wires which can be used in marine, geophysical, seismological and geological works, for fishing, underwater communication and other sectors of economy.
