Gerdau, a global supplier of special steels, has recently developed facilities at its Tadipatri plant in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh to produce steel for Leaf Springs.
Leaf springs are used in the suspension for heavy commercial vehicles such as vans and trucks, SUVs, and railway carriages. The leaf spring acts as a linkage for holding the axle in position and thus separate linkages are not necessary. It makes the construction of the suspension simple and strong.
Gerdau is also the leading producer of long steel in the Americas.
The first consignment was supplied to the Leaf Spring manufacturing customer on Jan 15th.
Sridhar Krishnamoorthy, Managing Director, Gerdau Steel India said in a statement that its goal was to continually broaden the product offering to customers.
Gerdau has more than 45,000 employees and industrial operations in 14 countries with operations in the Americas, Europe and Asia, which together represent an installed capacity of more than 25 million tonnes of steel per year.
