Plant locations in 2013
World coke plants
The chart illustrates the locations of ~400 metallurgical coke plants. Roughly 35% of the world's coke plants are to be found in China, with India (~10% of plants) the next most popular location. The largest facilities are to be found in Japan [JFE Steel, West Works Kurashiki and Fukuyama, each with ~4.5 mt/year coke capacity] with Poland's Zdieszowice plant notable also in terms of size [capacity of ~4.4 mt/year].
Chinese seamless tube plants
Approx ~64 seamless tube plants can be identified in China. The Tianjin Pipe Plant [capacity ~2.8 mt/year] appears to be amongst the largest of these facilities. Some plants however (including those of Changcheng Steel, Guangxi Liuzhou Iron & Steel, Guangzhou Iron & Steel Enterprise Group, Jiangsu Xigang, Tangshan Jianlong Industry, Kunming Iron & Steel Group, Bohai Drill Pipe, Fushun Special Steel and Yantai Steel) may not currently be operational.
European SBQ plants
There are ~53 producers of engineering steel (SBQ) bar in Europe [counting Europe as Western, Central and Eastern Europe but excluding Turkey]. The Metalloinvest Urals Steel SBQ plant at Stary Oskol [capacity ~1mt / year of engineering steel bar] is the largest of these plants, with the Mittal Ruhrort facility in Germany [SBQ capacity ~0.85 mt bar / year] in number two position. Ascometal's Le Cheylas facility was mothballed in 2011 and its present status is still uncertain.
