METEC India 2024 will see the unveiling of global breakthroughs and sustainable solutions by the industry leader in green and advanced steel technology.
John Cockerill to Showcase Cutting-Edge Technologies at METEC India 2024
India’s Mumbai, Maharashtra
John Cockerill, a world leader in industrial engineering, is thrilled to announce that it will be attending METEC India 2024, the premier gathering for the steel casting, metal forming, and metallurgy sectors, which will take place in Mumbai from November 27 to 29. METEC India 2024 will provide John Cockerill with an opportunity to demonstrate its most recent developments in sustainable steelmaking technologies and high-efficiency manufacturing solutions, supporting the country’s push for a more resilient and environmentally friendly industrial future as India fortifies its commitment to green steel production in order to meet its ambitious decarbonisation goals.
John Cockerill is dedicated to revolutionising the Indian steel sector, and his involvement will showcase cutting-edge technology that satisfy both the changing demands of Indian steel producers and international regulatory requirements. John Cockerill is committed to helping India achieve its Vision 2047 objectives for a sustainable and energy-efficient steel industry, from E-Si® technologies for electrical steel production to Jet Vapour Deposition (JVD) technology, which makes sustainable coatings possible.
“METEC India 2024 is a tremendous opportunity for us to engage with key players in the Indian steel sector and share our advancements in sustainable steel technologies,” said François-David Martino, CEO of John Cockerill Industry and Chairman of John Cockerill India Limited, in response to the company’s participation in METEC. Our goal is to provide the Indian steel sector with workable, tested methods for producing advanced, environmentally friendly steel that contributes to the achievement of important decarbonisation goals.
Placing an emphasis on India’s role as a global steel manufacturer, Michael Kotas, Managing Director of John Cockerill India Limited, said, “The Indian steel sector is scaling newer heights, showcasing its potential to achieve more along the way. METEC India is an ideal platform to demonstrate how our technologies can support the nations drive to a greener future for the steel industry.”
At METEC India 2024, John Cockerill will showcase advanced technologies that support India’s steel industry in its decarbonization efforts and address the rising demands of the electric mobility sector. Experts will present E-Si®, a comprehensive solution designed to enable steelmakers to sustainably produce high-quality electrical steel. The E-Si® line is designed specifically for producing high-performance electrical steels, essential in the manufacture of efficient electric motors and transformers, paving the way for energy-efficient applications across the industry.
Key highlights include Jet Vapor Deposition (JVD) technology, a low-emission alternative to traditional galvanizing, which enhances both environmental performance and operational efficiency. This state-of-the-art solution for the coating of metal strip optimizes the quantities of zinc used and thus production costs.
Additionally, John Cockerill will offer a preview of Volteron™ technology for net-zero steel production, underscoring its commitment to sustainability. Volteron™ is a carbon free, cold direct electrolysis process that extracts iron from iron ore using electricity. It is the world’s first industrial-scale low temperature, iron electrolysis plant targeted to start production in a first phase in 2027 of between 40,000 and 80,000 tonnes a year of iron plates.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the John Cockerill team and explore how these innovations advance both production capacity and environmental goals.
Join John Cockerill at METEC India 2024 to explore the future of sustainable steel production and discover how advanced technology can unlock India’s potential as a global leader in green steel.
