Mainstrip Twin Roll Casting Proposition

Financing

Main + H. Marti have financed the development of Mainstrip and the respective patents by own resources, by licencing and selling their own developed technologies and by the support of CTI-projects (Commission for Technology and Innovation CTI) of the Swiss government.

Twin Roll Casting is the new technology to come. Energy- and ecological advantages are substantial and therefore this technology will emerge. The Mainstrip concept has set out to combine past experience and development with new inventive solutions to bring this process forward. Because of the size of the project, important partners are needed to bring forward the breakthrough of this technology.

Thus the financing of  important such important volumue is to  come from important sources like

• Investors, which see the potential and will benefit as the technology will emerge. They are to finance particular projects in part or in full.
• Steel mills or Steel mill conglomerates, which want to enter into the strip market or cover surplus steel production or serve local markets.
• Machine builders and institutes, which see the potential of this technology and the need for the renewal of existing processes and equipment.

In each case, the cooperation or support of Main, with the respective specialist can be secured.

Status of project

Main has developed this technology with the best engineers and specialists in this field, working with universities and institutes, and machine builders, supported also by the Swiss government.

We can count on all these partners also in the future.

Main AG is ready to talk and enter into realistic discussions with important investors, steel mills and steel mill conglomerates and machine builders.

A phase concept allows the splitting of the project into visible steps.

A combination of a financing-, steelmaking- and machine builder’s company is a further possibility, because of the size.
