en.Wedoany.com Reported - In May 2026, the No.2 hot-dip galvanizing line of the hot-dip galvanizing project at PT Ocean Steel Indonesia, for which Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Limited (CERI) supplied equipment, successfully completed its one-time hot load trial run and commenced production. This marks the full completion and commissioning of the company's 1250mm galvanizing/galvalume project in Indonesia.
According to publicly available project information, following the commissioning of the No.1 hot-dip galvanizing line in early April 2026, the No.2 line, with the cooperation of the owner, completed all pre-production preparations—including no-load trial run, cold linkage trial run, furnace drying, and zinc melting—in just 40 days. The hot load trial run passed in one go, producing the first coil of hot-dip galvanized product. Performance tests showed that the coil's coating uniformity, dimensional accuracy, and other indicators met the design standards.
The key equipment of this hot-dip galvanizing line was independently developed by CERI, with independent intellectual property rights. Hot-dip galvanizing is a process that immerses steel in molten zinc to form an anti-corrosion coating, widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, and home appliances. According to CERI's public information, its hot-dip galvanizing technology features high efficiency and energy savings, precise coating thickness control, and high product surface quality. Founded in 2003, CERI, formerly the Beijing Central Engineering and Research Incorporation of Iron and Steel Industry, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Metallurgical Group Corporation (MCC Group), primarily engaged in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracting and equipment supply in the fields of iron and steel metallurgy and construction engineering. PT Ocean Steel Indonesia is one of the major local steel producers in Indonesia, with operations covering hot rolling, cold rolling, and coated steel production.
The commissioning of the No.2 line signifies that both hot-dip galvanizing production lines provided by CERI for PT Ocean Steel Indonesia have entered the production phase. The implementation of this project has accumulated practical operational cases for the company's steel engineering equipment supply and technical services in the Southeast Asian market.
