An agreement for the supply of a minimum of 12,500 and a maximum of 15,000 tonnes per month was signed between the two companies on Monday January 19, Krakatau Steel said in a statement posted this week on its website.
Essar Indonesia will re-roll the HRC into cold rolled coil at its plant in Bekasi, West Java.
The first phase of the contract will last one year, Krakatau Steel noted.

“Now we have entered into [this] supply agreement with Krakatau Steel for a maximum of 180,000 tonnes and we will continue sourcing from our existing suppliers as we are doing now,” he noted.
