La Louvière has been operating more than 160 years from its location in the heart of Belgium. It enjoys multimodal transport links, with road, waterway and rail access. Transformed in recent years through a number of strategic investments, it now has a hot rolling capacity of 2,600,000 t per year. NLMK La Louvière targets 50% of its capacity to high added value markets with the balance supporting regional customers with structural, rolling and forming grades.

In combination with the downstream coating units and service centres, La Louvière is continuously expanding its range of products and steel grades. The development program in La Louvière is made up of concrete investments in equipment combined with the development of a learning organization. The company listens to its customers and implements ongoing improvement plans at all levels of the business.

The commissioning of a second walking-beam slab reheating furnace has helped to increase production and improve surface quality. The commissioning of a second pickling line and a second cold unit support both the galvanizing and electro-galvanising plants in Beautor and Strasbourg but also an expanding range of direct automotive customers.

The company has continued to improve the quality of its products and the flexibility of its organization whilst maintaining competitive costs.
