Samuel First In The Industry To Install Herr Voss Leveling System

Samuel, Son & Co., Limited has announced they are installing a new “state of the art” Herr Voss leveling system in front of their freshly commissioned continuous C-T-L line at their Nash Road facility in Hamilton. This new flattening system bridges the gap between Temper Rolling and Tension Leveling.

The new line will produce sheet product that will set the benchmark in flatness required for downstream processes such as plasma and laser cutting. The new CTL line also features stenciling capability.

Samuel expects to have the first product off the line in Q4 2011. This significant investment highlights Samuel’s ongoing commitment to being the leader in product quality.
