Danieli acquires pellet specialist NewFer

NewFer is to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danieli Corus, thereby expanding the company’s expertise in the field of iron ore processing and sintering. With these additions, Danieli Corus now offers a comprehensive upstream portfolio for integrated steel production.

The operations of the German company NewFer GmbH will continue as Danieli NewFer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danieli Corus. Danieli NewFer will offer technology, engineering, supplies and services relating to pelletisation technology and ore processing packages for the global mining and primary steel sectors. By joining the Danieli Corus group, NewFer’s technological expertise will be combined with Danieli Corus’s industry network and ability to manage large-scale projects.
This strategic move comes at the right time, as the global steel industry is seeing a growing demand for high-quality iron ore concentrates and increased pelletising capacities to meet decarbonisation requirements. Danieli NewFer’s portfolio focuses on a high degree of operational and thermal efficiency whilst reducing production costs. The DigiFer product family ensures a higher level of automation in processing and pelletising, thereby delivering further improvements in efficiency and productivity.
