Acerinox said it is considering selling the line or moving it to another location. In addition, the company also announced that it will change the operating conditions of the Barrios plant near Cadiz, Spain, and will reduce the operation of the Acerinox Europa plant from five shifts to three shifts, but did not specify the potential impact on production.
