SHANGHAI METALLURGY GROUP Expands Iron Steel Smelting Solutions with Intermediate Frequency Furnaces

Full-Service Foundry Agent Delivers Customized, Energy-Efficient Smelting Plant Solutions Globally

SHANGHAI, CHINA – 2026 – SHANGHAI METALLURGY GROUP, a leading full-service foundry agent for iron and steel smelting plants, today announced the expansion of its product and service portfolio to include comprehensive solutions for intermediate frequency induction heating furnaces. This expansion addresses core industry pain points such as high energy consumption, elevated operational costs, and limited raw material processing flexibility, offering three key advantages: energy-efficient smelting, customized configuration for diverse raw materials, and end-to-end turnkey project support. The company builds on its track record of delivering over 200 metallurgical projects across more than 50 countries and regions with this global launch.

Core Product & Solution Highlights

The intermediate frequency induction heating furnace solutions are tailored for short-process steelmaking scenarios, ideal for regions with abundant scrap steel resources. These furnaces enable precise temperature control, reduce energy consumption compared to traditional equipment, and minimize metal loss during melting. As a full-service foundry agent, the company provides end-to-end turnkey services covering plant design, equipment manufacturing, on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training, ensuring clients receive a fully operational smelting plant. Additionally, a dynamic spare parts inventory system offers cost-effective regular and emergency supply support for global projects, including key components like rolls, guides, and copper mould tubes.

Global Compliance & Certifications

All solutions comply with international quality, environmental, and occupational health safety standards, holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. The company is recognized as an AAA-level enterprise for creditworthiness and a preferred supplier to Baowu Group, the world’s largest steel producer. With 4 national invention patents and 3 utility model patents covering core smelting and refining technologies, it ensures reliable, high-performance equipment delivery.

Delivery & Customization Services

Intermediate frequency induction heating furnace solutions are now available for global pre-order via the company’s official website. Customization services include furnace capacity adjustment based on raw material ratios (scrap steel, DRI, or HBI) and configuration of supporting refining equipment such as LF furnaces. Global delivery and on-site technical support commence immediately upon order confirmation.

Executive Quote

"The expansion of our intermediate frequency furnace solutions marks a key step in our global strategy to support sustainable steel production," said Wang Kai, CEO of SHANGHAI METALLURGY GROUP. "With growing demand for low-carbon, cost-effective short-process steelmaking, our customized solutions help clients reduce carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to long-process production, while cutting investment costs by half. Our 24 years of industry experience and global project delivery capabilities ensure clients receive reliable, high-value solutions tailored to their local needs."

Industry Context & Strategic Alignment

China currently accounts for 71% of global steel production, with a mature industrial system and abundant technical expertise. As global steelmakers shift toward low-carbon production, short-process steelmaking using intermediate frequency furnaces has emerged as a preferred solution due to its lower carbon footprint and shorter construction cycles. The company’s expanded portfolio aligns with this industry trend, leveraging deep technical reserves and a global supply chain to support clients worldwide.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, SHANGHAI METALLURGY GROUP will continue investing in R&D for energy-efficient smelting technologies, expand its global service network to provide localized support in emerging markets, and launch more customized solutions to meet evolving industry demands.
