Nr. 8 Hot Dip Galvanizing Line (Feuerbeschichtungsanlage FBA 8) ← Westfalenhütte, Dortmund, Germany ← ThyssenKrupp Steel. Built 2000-2001, put into operation 2001. Photo taken 2005.

The 352 m long and up to 65.7 m high facility is the newest in surface finishing and extends the cold rolling mill you can see in the background. It features a "friendly colors scheme" by designer Friedrich Ernst von Garnier that is supposed to make it more friendly to look at and more pleasant to work in. You can learn more about such color schemes and see more examples in these two PDFs.
