Embedded within the Mannesmann Precision Tubes Group, the Zeithain plant operated by Mannesmannröhren-Werk GmbH makes seamless hot-rolled steel tubes (hollows and tubes finished to size). These are either sent on to the cold drawing mills of the Group or are sold directly to external customers.
Our plant in Saxony is one of the most efficient producers of small-size seamless tubes in the market and also operates Europe's most state-of-the-art push bench facility.

History
Steel tubes production has a long tradition in Saxony, starting in 1907 with the commissioning of the first rolling mill for the first mill for seamless tubes in Riesa. In May 1961, the groundbreakig for the new tube of the VEB Stahl- und Walzwerk Riesa took place in Zeithain.
In 1965, the first hot-rolling mill, Tube Mill III (Plug MIll), went into operation, which was decommissioned in 1990. The second hot-rolling mill , Tube Mill IV (Push Bench), was built in 1978. Mannesmannröhren-Werke Sachsen GmbH, Zeithain, was founded in 1991 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mannesmannröhren-Werke AG, Mülheim an der Ruhr. Since this aquisition considerable investments have been made in the plant technology of the Tube Mill IV. These investments were focused mainly on modernizing computer technology to improve the process control of the equipment.
The previous piercing press in Zeithain had been replaced by the combination of a Three-Roll Piercing Elongating mill (TPE) with the existing push bench went into operation in February 2008.
