Tata Steel will Nummer zwei werden
von Joe Leahy (Colombo)
Tata Steel will in fünf Jahren zweitgrößter Stahlhersteller der Welt sein. Am Donnerstag bekundete der indische Konzern dieses Ziel erstmals öffentlich - und legte auch dar, wie er es erreichen will.
ANZEIGE
Intraday  3 Monate  Informieren Sie mich per E-Mail über aktuelle News zu diesem Unternehmen
Vor kurzem hatte Tata Steel den britisch-niederländischen Wettbewerber Corus übernommen, nun soll der Zukauf helfen, die Jahresproduktion von 25 Millionen Tonnen Stahl bis 2012 auf 40 Millionen und bis 2015 auf 50 Millionen Tonnen auszubauen. Das würde Tata Steel vom derzeitigen sechsten Rang auf Rang zwei weltweit katapultieren.

"Das ist unser ehrgeiziges Ziel", sagte Tata Steels Finanzvorstand Koushik Chatterjee.

Analysten sagten, der Konzern lege sich die Messlatte hoch, doch die Pläne gehörten zu einem überlegten Schwung an Investitionen, durch die die indische Stahlbranche die Nutzung der gewaltigen Eisenerzreserven des Landes optimieren will.

80 Mrd. $ werden indische Stahlfirmen nach einer Schätzung von Macquarie Securities investieren, um die Kapazitäten der Branche bis 2012 auf 150 Millionen Tonnen jährlich zu steigern. Um Investitionen anzulocken, vergeben die Regierungen der indischen Bundesstaaten derzeit praktisch umsonst Ressourcen an Stahlfirmen. Einzige Bedingung ist, dass das Erz vor Ort verarbeitet wird.

"Es herrscht ein riesiger Andrang, die Bodenschätze Indiens über einheimische (Firmen) zu bergen, und auch multinationale Konzerne wie Posco und Mittal Steel konkurrieren hier miteinander", sagte Macquarie.

Auch aufgrund seines bestehenden Angebots an günstigen Rohstoffen bleibt Tata Steel einer der profitabelsten Stahlproduzenten weltweit. Bei der Vorlage des Ergebnisses für das abgelaufene Geschäftsjahr am Donnerstag teilte Tata Steel mit, der bereinigte Nettogewinn ohne Corus sei um zwölf Prozent auf 41,7 Mrd. Rupien (761 Mio. Euro) gestiegen.

Die Pro-forma-Zahlen für die Fusion mit Corus zeigen, dass mit der Integration mit dem britisch-niederländischen Konzern auf Tata Steel noch eine Menge Arbeit zukommt.

Corus to sell German, Dutch aluminium plants

By Michael Hogan

BERLIN (Reuters) - Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus, owned by India's Tata Steel, will put its primary aluminium smelters in Germany and the Netherlands up for sale after electricity contracts have been agreed for the plants, Corus CEO Philippe Varin said on Tuesday.

Electricity supply contracts were currently underway for the plants in both countries, Varin said.

"When these contracts are in place our goal is to find a strategic future for this business, the primary aluminium production, in an environment which is more supportive of the aluminium business outside of Corus," he told Reuters on the sidelines of the IISI global steel industry conference in Berlin.

Asked if that meant they would be put up for sale, he said: "yes."

The smelters in Delfzijl in the Netherlands and Voerde in Germany have combined capacity to produce around 250,000 tonnes of primary aluminium annually and, including secondary production from scrap, have total output of more than 300,000 tonnes of aluminium a year.

India's Tata Steel won a bidding battle in January 2007 to buy Corus.

As Tata is focused on steel, industry analysts have expected the primary aluminium plants to be sold.

In October 2005, Corus reached a new power supply agreement for its Voerde aluminium plant in Germany, saving the works from closure.

Asked on Tuesday whether this contract meant the power supplies of the Voerde plant were secure, Varin said: "We now have some CO2 issues on this contract that we did not have before."

This meant both plants had electricity supply issues which needed to be solved, he said.

He could not say whether he expected the power supply contracts to be settled this year.

High power costs have compelled the closure of two German aluminium plants in the last two years, HAW in Hamburg and Norsk Hydro's plant in Stade. But HAW has since reopened.

Deutsche Bank Research,

Hohes Wachstum programmiert. Die Stahlbranche befindet sich weltweit auf
Expansionskurs. Seit einigen Jahren kommt ihr die besondere Dynamik der asiatischen
Staaten (v.a. Indiens und Chinas) zugute. Die wirtschaftlichen Aufholprozesse
in diesen Ländern kurbeln die Stahlnachfrage stark an.
In Indien überdurchschnittliche Zunahme zu erwarten. Wir rechnen mit
einer Steigerung der indischen Rohstahlproduktion zwischen 2005 und 2015 von
derzeit 38 Mio. Tonnen auf 68 Mio. Tonnen (+6% p.a.). Im gleichen Zeitraum sind
umfangreiche Kapazitätserweiterungen geplant. Die Weltrohstahlerzeugung nimmt
im Prognosezeitraum um rd. 5% p.a. auf 1.800 Mio. Tonnen etwas weniger schnell
zu. Trotz der dynamischen Produktionssteigerung erreicht der Anteil der indischen
Stahlproduktion an der gesamten Weltrohstahlproduktion in den nächsten zehn
Jahren nur knapp 4%. Im Vergleich zu China (41%) ist das vergleichsweise recht
wenig.
Vordringen der Stranggusstechnik. Zur Effizienzsteigerung der Stahlindustrie
hat vor allem der stärkere Einsatz der Stranggusstechnik – als Gradmesser der
Modernität – beigetragen. Ihr Anteil an der indischen Rohstahlerzeugung stieg von
38% Mitte der 90er Jahre auf nunmehr 66%. Damit ist Indien auf gutem Wege,
Anschluss an die führenden Stahlhersteller unter den Industrieländern zu finden
(Anteil in EU-25: 96%). Allerdings werden in Indien immer noch rd. 6% des Rohstahls
auf Basis des veralteten Siemens-Martin-Verfahrens hergestellt (EU-25:
0,3%), was auf weitere Restrukturierungspotenziale hinweist.
Unternehmen drängen auf Weltmarkt. Das indische Stahlministerium plant,
die Exportquote in den kommenden 15 Jahren von derzeit 15% auf 24% zu erhöhen.
Große Unternehmen, wie SAIL und Tata Steel, wollen Global Player werden,
indem sie sich an ausländischen Firmen beteiligen.

Alles in allem rechnen wir für Indien mit einer Zunahme der Rohstahlproduktion
zwischen 2005 und 2015 von derzeit 38 Mio. Tonnen
auf 68 Mio. Tonnen (+6% p.a.). Der Zuwachs der indischen
Rohstahlproduktion in den zehn Jahren bis 2015 von rd. 30 Mio.
Tonnen entspricht in etwa der derzeitigen jährlichen Rohstahlerzeugung
Italiens. Allerdings ist dabei zu berücksichtigen, dass der jährliche
Pro-Kopf-Verbrauch an Stahl in Indien derzeit nur 35 kg beträgt
gegenüber 400 kg in der EU-25.
Maßgeblich für das hohe Wachstum in Indien ist die gute Performance
der inländischen Abnehmerindustrien – vor allem der Bauwirtschaft,
der Automobilindustrie und des Maschinenbaus. Insgesamt
dürfte die Industrieproduktion in Indien in den kommenden
Jahren zweistellig zunehmen. Hinzu kommen Impulse vom privaten
Verbrauch. Die anhaltende Auslagerung von IT-gestützten Geschäftsprozessen
nach Indien bietet der dortigen Mittelschicht gute
Einkommensmöglichkeiten.
Die indische Regierung will eine moderne und effiziente Stahlindustrie.
Strategisches Ziel ist nicht mehr allein die Versorgung des Binnenmarktes.
Das Land versucht, sich mittelfristig auch stärker als
Exporteur von Stahlerzeugnissen zu positionieren. Nach den Plänen
der Regierung soll die Exportquote von derzeit 14 auf 24% gesteigert
werden. Die Ankündigung einer offensiven Exportstrategie im
Zusammenhang mit den geplanten Kapazitätserweiterungen dürfte
nicht ohne Auswirkungen auf den Weltstahlmarkt bleiben. Insbesondere
bei Commodities ist mit einem verschärften Wettbewerb zu
rechnen. Als Marktversorgung wurden vom indischen Stahlministerium
bis zum Jahr 2020 etwa 90 Mio. Tonnen vorgegeben – gegenüber
knapp 38 Mio. Tonnen in 2005. Das würde für die kommenden
Jahre ein Wachstum von rd. 6% p.a. bedeuten. Die Ausweitung des
Industriesektors und damit auch des Stahlverbrauchs ist unbedingt
notwendig, um die Armut weiter Teile der Bevölkerung zu verringern.
Kräfige Aufstockung der Produktionskapazitäten

DSIR awards Tata Steel for Environment R&D Technology
~Acknowledgement for Hexavalent Chrome Removal Technology~
New Delhi, November 15, 2007

Tata Steel, the world’s sixth largest steel maker, has won the DSIR Award 2007 (Department of Scientific & Industrial Research) for R&D Effort in implementing an indigenous technology for removing hexavalent chromium from chrome ore concentrates. Dr. Debashish Bhattacharjee, Chief – R&D and Scientific Services, Tata Steel received the award at a function held in New Delhi today.

Apart from environmental benefits, this technology will save 250 litres of water per tonne of concentrate (i.e., saving about 125 million litres of water per annum) in our mines.  

Dr. Debashish Bhattacharjee, Chief R&D and Scientific Services said, “With innovative research and tenacious implementation, the hexavalent Cr level has been brought down from 0.4ppm to 0.001ppm in our Cr ore concentrate. The cut-off set by WHO is 0.05ppm. This is indeed a huge achievement for us and we are very proud to have received this prestigious award.” The cut-off for Cr VI set by WHO is 0.05ppm. Through this research Tata Steel has managed to bring down the hexavalent Cr levels from 0.4ppm to 0.001ppm in Cr ore concentrate.  The team required for this project was highly cross-functional with contributions needed from CLRI, Sukinda operations, Chemical Labs for measuring low levels of hex Cr, Environment Dept, and of course R&D. The team was led by Mr. Gajanan Kapure, a researcher in R&D.

Chromium in nature exists in the valencies of two to six. Trivalent compounds (Cr III) do not cause any serious damage to body tissue; in fact, it is an important component of a balanced human and animal diet. The toxic action of chromium is confined to the hexavalent compound (Cr VI). It is this hexavalent molecule that is the ‘rogue’ molecule which is a highly toxic carcinogen and may cause death to humans and animals if ingested in large doses. The metallurgical industry commonly uses chromium for the production of stainless steels, alloy cast iron and nonferrous alloys as well as for plating steel.

India's Tata Steel revamps organisational structure, names group heads
MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) - India's Tata Steel Group (Nachrichten) said it has reorganised its management structure to realise its goal of becoming a leading player in the global steel industry.

As part of the new organisation structure, Tata Steel, which also includes Tata Steel Thailand, NatSteel Asia, and Anglo-Dutch steel maker Corus Group, said it has formed a central body to create a common approach across the group.

The functions that will fall under control of the centre are technology&integration, finance, strategy, corporate relations and communications as well as global minerals.

A joint executive committee for the entire group will also meet quarterly to review overall performance against goals set, Tata Steel said.

Both Tata Steel and Corus Group will have an executive committee each, which will be chaired by the company's managing director B Muthuraman and Corus Group chief executive officer, Philippe Varin.

Tata Steel said each of the functions for the group will be headed by executives who will report to Muthuraman and Varin, respectively.

Tata Steel said Tridibesh Mukherjee has been appointed Group Director, Technology and Integration, Koushik Chatterjee has been appointed Group Chief Financial Officer, Jean-Sebastien Jacques has been appointed as Group Director, Strategy, Manzer Hussain will be Group Director, Communications and Arun D Baijal is Group Director Global minerals.

Mukherjee, Chatterjee, and Jacques already are on the 'Strategy and Integration Committee,' which is chaired by Tata Steel chairman, Ratan Tata.

Tata Steel seeks more Australian ventures  

SYDNEY (Reuters) - India's Tata Steel Ltd can no longer supply enough of its own raw materials as its steel making capabilities soar, and it will seek more joint ventures with Australian mining companies to make up the gap.

Tata Managing Director B. Muthuraman said in an interview with Reuters on Friday that its self-sufficiency in raw materials such as iron ore and coking coal had ended after it bought European steel group Corus for $12.9 billion this year.

"Tata Steel will form more joint ventures in Australia to secure additional materials sources," Muthuraman said. The Corus acquisition made Tata the world's sixth-biggest steel company, able to churn out 28.1 million tonnes of crude steel a year.

Tata used to supply up to 80 percent of the raw feed needed by its mills from its own mines. With Corus in its fold, that figure has fallen to only about 25 percent.

Australia, with its vast reserves of iron ore, coal and other minerals, is increasingly becoming a quarry for Asia's fast-industrialising economies.

As more mines open up across Australia, resource-hungry companies such as Tata Steel are vying with Japanese, Russians, Ukrainians, Chinese and others for partnerships with local prospectors.

Tata Steel said earlier on Friday it would pay A$100 million ($88 million) to take 35 percent of a coal project to be set up in Mozambique with Riversdale Mining Ltd. Muthuraman was in Sydney for the signing of the deal.

"For the last 100 years we have been a fully integrated company, so holding our own raw materials sources is important to us," Muthuraman said. "Therefore we will see more forays into securing more of our raw materials in the future."

Iron ore prices have galloped higher for five straight years and this year are forecast by Australia's Macquarie Bank to rise another 50 percent or so as mills compete for limited supplies from miners such as Brazil's CVRD and Australia's Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.

The price of coking coal, also integral in steel making, could rise around 50 percent this year, analysts have said, while Muthuraman sees steelmakers having to pay more for raw products for a least another three or four years.

Muthuraman said the investment in Riversdale, which does not expect to begin mining coal until 2010, provides Tata with a foothold in Mozambique, which is opening its doors to international miners nearly two decades after a civil war ended.

"Tata Steel has vast experience in coal mining over several decades and will be contributing technical expertise to the joint venture," Muthuraman said.

Tata Steel sees iron ore prices rising  
 
SYDNEY (Reuters) - India's Tata Steel Ltd said on Friday it expects iron ore prices to rise for another three to four years.

"While the sudden jump in raw material prices such as iron ore happened because of the rise of capacity not matching increasing steel demand, prices have continued to rise. We see new prices stabilising and settling down in 3-4 years," Tata's managing director, B. Muthuraman, told reporters.

Tata Steel said earlier it would pay A$100 million ($88 million) to take 35 percent of a coal project to be set up in Mozambique with Riversdale Mining Ltd.

Tata Steel, Riversdale Mining form JV for Mozambique Coal Project

Tata Steel and Riversdale Mining signed an agreement to establish a special purpose joint venture (JV) vehicle to develop a hard coking and thermal coal project at key coal exploration tenements held by Riversdale in Mozambique.  
                     
Under terms of the agreement, Tata Steel (Q, N,C,F)* will pay AUD 100 million (USD 88.2 million) to acquire a 35% project interest. For this consideration, Tata Steel secures a key position in the JV formed to develop the Mozambique Coal Project, as well as a 40% share of the off-take for coking coal.  

Tata Steel will also have an option to participate above this level of tonnage, and may participate with Riversdale in future opportunities on Riversdale`s surrounding tenements.

The JV comprises two licenses (Benga and Tete) and covers an area of 24,960 hectares (approx. 96.7 square miles). Riversdale Mining holds a total acreage of over 290,000 hectares (1,120 square miles) in Mozambique.

The coking coal derived from this project will be supplied to the Tata Steel group`s facilities in Europe, Asia and elsewhere.

Tata Steel to Buy Stake in Coal Project

Tata Steel to Buy 35 Percent Stake in Australian Company's Coal Project in Mozambique


NEW DELHI (AP) -- Tata Steel Ltd. agreed with Australia's Riversdale Mining Ltd. Friday to buy 35 percent of its coal project in Mozambique for $88 million, the Indian company said in a statement.
The Mozambique project will help Tata Steel secure coal supplies for its European and Asian operations, the statement said. Tata Steel became the world's sixth largest steel producer after acquiring London-based Corus Group PLC in January this year.

"The global steel business of Tata has an increasing need to source coal, and the Mozambique Coal Project is well positioned to help meet their future demands for hard coking coal," Riversdale Chairman and CEO Michael O'Keeffe said in the statement.

Under terms of the deal, Tata Steel and Riversdale will have a joint venture to mine coking coal for steel production and develop a thermal coal project in Mozambique, where the Australian miner holds rights to coal reserves spread over about 1,120 square miles.

The joint venture's operation will be limited to around 1.3 billion tons of the total reserves in the area.

The Tata Group -- whose diverse interests include salt, steel and software -- is one of the most aggressive Indian companies in seeking overseas acquisitions after thriving for decades in a protected home market.

Indian companies hope to penetrate new markets, acquire technologies and gain access to raw materials needed for domestic production through their overseas ventures and buyouts.

In March, the Tata Group reached a deal to buy a 30 percent stake each in three companies owned by Indonesian mining outfit Bumi Resources for a total of $1.1 billion to secure coal supplies for its upcoming power plants in India.

The latest acquisition comes as coal prices continue to rise amid robust demand from China and India.

gespannt - LANGFRISTIG kann es nur eine Richtung geben => gen Norden!

Kurzfristig müsste es (dies ist meine eigene Meinung) nächste Woche weiter hoch gehen (vielleicht sehen wir auch wieder in der nächsten Woche den Kurs um 0.049€ - hoff!!)

...in diesem Sinne - Fussball/Premiere ruft...
