MMK also remains No.1 in the rating of paint-coated and galvanized metal manufacturers. The company currently runs three continuous hot-dip galvanizing units and two polymeric coating units. Besides, another hot-dip galvanizing unit and a combined continuous annealing/galvanizing unit got launched as part of the extension to the plant’s new cold-roll facility at Sheet Rolling Shop 11.
