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.
