Baosteel, the largest steel manufacturer in China, is entrusting the safety of personnel at its Shanghai plant to trapped key interlocking systems from Castell. Many steel plants in China still rely on warning signs to remind employees of recommended operating procedures. However, this method is prone to abuse, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Castell's products are being used to ensure that Baosteel's electrostatic plating process is carried out safely.
