Buhlmann focuses on North America
business
The internationally operating Buhlmann
Group recently established Buhlmann

The business is already present in
more than 27 locations in 19 countries

With stand-alone subsidiaries in
many parts of Europe and Asia, the
distributor of steel pipes, fittings and
flanges is always close to the customer.
By expanding to North America the
objective is to strengthen the position in
the US market and to explore new sales
potentials.
“The new location in Houston enables us
to not only be close to our customers,
but to react fast and more specific to the
requirements of the market,” said Robert
Bresser, managing director of Buhlmann
North America LP. The office of the new
subsidiary is located in The Woodlands
business location, close to Houston.

Optimised steel making
Kanto Steel Ltd has signed off on
performance savings for the supply
and purchase of an EFSOP® Holistic
Optimization System that was
commissioned in the spring 2014. The
EFSOP system was installed at the
EAF#1 ‘top charged’ 90t furnace at the
Kanto steel plant in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki,
Japan.
Consumption savings attained during
the project lifecycle were electrical 0.5
per cent, oxygen 8 per cent, kerosene
20 per cent, and an increase in yield
of 0.5 per cent. Overall consumption
savings reached were slightly more
than 190JPY/t.
