Rolling stainless steel below 0.5 mm requires Sendzimir or cluster mills capable of very high rolling forces with precise gauge control, along with specialized annealing and surface-finishing lines. Fewer mills globally operate at this gauge, which is why European producers such as those in Italy and France remain competitive despite higher labor costs.
