SSAB has opened a new steel service center in Mumbai, India, dedicated to producing and supplying parts, kits and advanced components made from Hardox wear plate and Strenx performance steel, together with the specialised workshop processing that manufacturers need.
The facility will support Indian manufacturers of transport, construction and lifting equipment by providing ready-to-assemble components made from these two globally recognised steels:
Hardox wear plate: An abrasion-resistant steel, engineered to maximise payload capacity and extend service life in demanding applications such as tippers and rock bodies.
Strenx performance steel: A high-strength structural steel used to build lighter, stronger and more sustainable equipment including trailers, cranes and lifting booms.
By combining these advanced steels with local processing capabilities, the new service center enables manufacturers to source finished components and kits that improve durability, reduce fabrication time and increase productivity.
The SSAB Mumbai Service Center focuses on supplying ready-to-assemble kits and precision-processed components made from Hardox and Strenx steels. Typical applications include:
Box and rock body tippers
Tipping trailers
Booms for lifting equipment.
The facility also supports designs that require specialised bending of high-strength Hardox or Strenx plate – an increasingly important capability for lightweight rock bodies and other advanced equipment designs.
Located in an industrial park with convenient access to Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane, the new center includes a 100,000 sq. ft. centralised warehouse with storage capacity for more than 10,000 tonnes of steel plate.
Subodh Shinde, SSAB country head, India, said, “By combining SSAB’s premium steels with precision processing and technical expertise, we aim to simplify manufacturing and help our customers achieve higher productivity and performance.”
