Europe's second largest steel producer, ThyssenKrupp, shuttered the German 
facility in September 2021. During its operation, the heavy plate rolling mill 
facility produced approximately 850,000 metric tons of steel which was used for 
shipbuilding, offshore and heavy fabrication construction production.  In 
addition to the very large Hot Rolling Mill, other items for sale included late 
model furnaces, hot- and cold-levelers, hot- and cold shears, quenches, inline 
ultrasonic inspection, shotblasting/priming, and numerous flame and plasma 
cutting machines.

)

Relocation work will start after this summer and approximately 22,000 metric 
tons of machinery and equipment will be removed from its location in 
Duisburg-Hüttenheim, Germany to Asia.

Robert Bouland, Managing Partner at Hilco Industrial Acquisitions, B.V., 
stated, "We knew the acquisition represented an outstanding opportunity for 
buyers seeking to purchase high-quality, late model machinery used in a 
combined roughing and finishing mill." Bouland added, "We are pleased to have 
had such strong interest in the mill, allowing us to close the sale of 
ThyssenKrupp in just six months."

Hilco Industrial Acquisitions, B.V. continues to expand their acquisition 
portfolio in the mill equipment space. This sale is the second Heavy Plate Mill 
sold by the company in the last 2 years. Hilco Industrial Acquisition recently 
sold the 2 million ton per year Dongkuk Steel Heavy Plate Mill from Korea in 
February 2021, as well as the 2015 Danieli Rebar Mill at Posco SS Vina in 
Vietnam in September 2021. Most recently, Compania Siderurgica Huachipato S.A. 
(CAP ACERO) from Chile has engaged the company to sell steel and rolling mill 
equipment no longer needed in CAP ACERO's continuing operations.
