Hydnum Steel, the first green steel plant in Spain, and Euroports, a port and logistics operators based in Europe, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop integrated logistics solutions that will ‘optimise the steel supply chain across the continent.’
Under this agreement, both companies will work closely in the design and implementation of an ‘efficient and sustainable logistics network’, focused on improving the transportation, storage, and distribution of the steel coils that Hydnum Steel will produce at its Puertollano plant.
The collaboration also considers logistics solutions for key steelmaking raw materials such as ferrous scrap, green metallics, and iron ore from various sources and different origins.
''This agreement represents a significant step towards improving our supply chain.''
