At the beginning of the 1990s the Italian Riva Group acquired a rolling mill in Charleroi, forming its subsidiary Thy-Marcinelle from it.

The semi-finished products that feed the rolling mill are largely produced on site and only a tiny quantity is bought in from the full cycle plant.

Rolling is only carried out on demand and with rapid production turnover so as to reduce stock.

They are sent to markets in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, China and Oceania.

The plant has its own scrapyard and can deliver scrap metal by rail, road or water.
