LUSAKA, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese firm on Thursday officially commissioned its state-of-the art steel manufacturing plant in Zambia, which is believed to be able to advance local production of steel products in the southern African nation.
The Powerful Diligent Veracious (PDV) Metals Limited Steel plant, with a capacity to produce 300,000 metric tons of steel, is situated in the Lusaka South Multi Facility Economic Zone to the southeast of Lusaka, the Zambian capital. The plant, whose construction started last year, employs a unique, modern refining process and a comprehensive automated control system to produce high-quality steel.
