Route 1 (morning) |
SteelAsia Sections Mill in Lemery, Batangas
|
Description | The SteelAsia Lemery is the first steel mill in the Philippines to locally produce steel beams and similar products for various applications such as construction, transportation, and various infrastructure projects.
The mill is expected to address the country’s demand for imported steel products such as beams, channels, t-bars, angles and flat bars.
Designed with the latest generation technologies for the highest efficiency ratings, SteelAsia Lemery produces “green steel” products as the mill is integrated with recycling-based steelmaking technologies and draws power from renewable energy sources. The mill is modeled after SteelAsia Calaca which was assessed by Norway’s DNV as having one of the lowest CO2 emissions among steel plants in the world.
Identified as a strategic investment, SteelAsia Lemery Works was granted incentives and a “green lane” endorsement by the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) Board of Investment One-Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments (OSAC-SI).
