Iñaki Vázquez Ochotorena, Technology and R&D Director at Athader, has recently taken part in an interview published in an Indian magazine specialized in the steel industry, focused on current trends shaping the evolution of service centers and coil processing lines.
The publication addresses various aspects related to technological changes in the sector, such as the growing demand for higher-strength steels, increasing levels of automation in industrial processes, and the need to adapt facilities to new technical and production requirements. The interview highlights Athader’s perspective on how these dynamics are influencing the design and development of industrial solutions.
Regarding levelling technologies, the interview refers to both rolls levelling (rolls leveler) and stretch levelling (stretch leveler), underlining their application in improving flatness, controlling internal stresses, and reducing defects in the processing of advanced steels.
The content places Athader’s activity within a global market, where sectors such as automotive, energy, and infrastructure are driving the adoption of advanced technologies and more efficient processes.
