Cogne Acciai Speciali, one of the leading producers of long products in stainless steel and nickel alloys, has recently signed an important agreement with Nippon Gases for the modernisation of its air separation plant, located in the Aosta steelworks, and the supply of all the gases required for the steelworks' production processes.
The plant will be upgraded and optimised by Nippon Gases, ensuring greater production efficiency, lower energy consumption and a consequent reduction in environmental impact, in full respect of the local community.
The contract, signed by Monica Pirovano, General Manager of Cogne Acciai Speciali S.p.A., and Davis Reginato, General Manager of Nippon Gases Industrial S.r.l., contributes to consolidate the partnership between the two industrial companies, which have thus sanctioned their relationship for the next 15 years.
