Vesuvius has inaugurated a new Mould Flux manufacturing plant in Visakhapatnam. The plant is designed to meet the increasing demand for flux, a vital component in the continuous casting process at steel plants. Over the last couple of years, Vesuvius has been making significant investments in India by expanding the capacity of its existing manufacturing plants as well as setting up three new greenfield manufacturing plants which will create an additional capacity of 2,50,000 tons per annum.

The flux manufacturing plant is first of the three new manufacturing plants expected to be operational in 2024.
