Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Electric Steel Corporation (“Union Electric Steel”), a leader in the manufacture of Forge and Cast rolls for the steel and aluminum industries, has been selected to supply the initial provisioning (mill fill) of rolls for two new rolling mill projects under construction.

The roll contracts for these new mills are:

  1. A new cold mill for Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V. – Pesqueria, a major North American steel producer, with roll deliveries expected to begin in the first half of 2025 valued at approximately $6.7 million; and
  2. A new plant being built in Scandinavia by a major European OEM mill builder requiring rolls to be delivered in the first half of 2025 valued at approximately $5.0 million.

In addition, the Corporation has updated its sales order backlog and expects to report that its Air and Liquid Processing segment achieved a record level of new orders in the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Order activity surged more than 50% versus the quarter ended March 31, 2024, to achieve the highest quarterly order intake in the segment’s history.

Commenting on these developments, Brett McBrayer, Ampco-Pittsburgh’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The roll contract wins underscore Union Electric’s commitment to providing high quality rolls to the global steel and aluminum markets, while solidifying our position as a key player in these markets. In Air and Liquid Processing, we saw strong order activity in multiple markets including both the Pharmaceutical and U.S. Military markets. The investments we have made to strengthen our sales force and increase our manufacturing capacity have allowed us to substantially increase our presence in the markets we serve.”

The Corporation expects total backlog for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, to be in the range of $360 to $365 million, which represents sequential growth of 3.2% to 4.6% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
