Kocsis is the #1 domestic source for refurbishing and manufacturing steel rolls.

Our proprietary overlays and manufacturing processes result in more tonnage produced for our steel mill customers. Instead of purchasing new rolls, we work with steel mills to refurbish and re-use their roll fleet. This saves time, money, and reduces the steel industry’s carbon footprint.

Caster Maintenance’s proprietary bearing reclaim service allows our customers to re-use their bearings for multiple campaigns.  

Expensive bearings are discarded daily because it is assumed their reliability has expired. The cost of a re-used bearing can be as low as 20% of the cost of a new bearing. Not only does this service save money, but it also promotes reusability with our customers.
