Announcement of production cessation for Hardox 400 steel from SSAB
We, Gia Anh Investment Trading Co., Ltd. (GAC), the authorized strategic representative of SSAB Steel, would like to announce the following.

However, inventories of this grade in Vietnam as well as worldwide have become extremely scarce and are approaching zero. This is because only stock produced previously remains available, as SSAB has officially discontinued accepting new production orders, as stated in the attached notification.
