The Pomina CMC plant project, which began back in 2017, includes the following Tenova equipment: Push Pull Pickling line and Acid Regeneration Plant, 6Hi Cold Rolling Mill, Continuous Galvanizing line and Color Coating line as well as Roll Grinding equipment. The new Cold Mill Complex will produce high quality Cold Rolled steel coils (CRC), Galvanized steel coils (GI), Galvalume steel coils (GL), Pre-Painted Galvanized steel coils (PPGI) and Pre-Painted Galvalume Steel coils (PPGL).
“Pomina can now produce higher quality steel for domestic and foreign market with reliable and state of the art technologies” stated Nicola Cavero, Senior Vice President Tenova Italimpianti. “With the current market uncertainty and trade tension, the production of high value steel could be the possible solution in the export market for our customer”.
The technology provided to Pomina is also the most state-of-the-art in terms of sustainability: the Acid Regeneration Plant recovers the hydrochloric acid used in the pickling lines, and all the other processes are optimized to reduce energy consumption and augment the whole process in compliance with environmental regulations.
Pomina Group (former Thep Viet) started its collaboration with Tenova almost 15 years ago, with a successful initial contract for a Consteel EAF, ladle furnace and continuous caster. This contract was followed by another Consteel EAF installation and most recently a contract for a new Flexible Modular Furnace (FMF).

Calderys plays a key role in EU-funded project HEATERNAL to develop viable decarbonization solutions using thermal energy storage
As the only refractory maker taking part in the project, Calderys recently selected the refractories for the energy storage unit which will be assembled in the coming months before testing. The project is on track for completion in the second half of 2026.
