An official with the company’s public relations department said that the report is groundless and that the furnace that has experienced problems will be fully operational by the end of the month.
Located in Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province, the Dangjin mill currently operates three furnaces with a combined production capacity of 12 million metric tons. However, the furnace that began operations in January 2010 has been experiencing problems with temperature maintenance since last month.
