Dutch term or phrase: gietwals
"Bedoeling is het noodlijdende Duitse koperbedrijf, dat meer dan 1000 mensen tewerkstelt, te moderniseren en uit te rusten met een innovatieve continu***gietwals***"

This is a text from a Belgian company that produces copper wire, using a casting-rolling process.
The word "gietwals" itself cannot be found anywhere (Google, Kluwer, Van Daele).

Any suggestions?

‘Gietwalsen : naast het warmwalsen beschikt Tata steel in IJmuiden over een van de modernste technologieën: het gietwalsen. Gieten en walsen worden in één procesgang gecombineerd. Dat scheelt niet alleen tijd maar vooral ook energie.

[…]

Integratie van processtappen: in de recente Gietwals-plant in IJmuiden is het gieten en warmwalsen geïntegreerd tot één continue procesgang. Ook zijn er vergevorderde proeven, waarbij in één procesgang vloeibaar staal uit erts wordt bereid.’

‘Thin slab casting Although thin slab casting (TSC) is already a commercial
technique, this technique is discussed here because experience with TSC in integrated
steel mills is still small. Compact strip production of SMS Schloemann-
Siemag, inline strip production of Mannessmann Demag, and continuous thin
slab casting and rolling technology (Conroll) of VAI are the major TSC techniques,
but others are available or are being developed (51, 74). In 1995 about 15
thin slab casters had already been installed worldwide or had been ordered, and
several pilot plants were in operation (G Flemming, SMS Schloemann-Siemag,
unpublished data) (74). Most of these installation are combined with an EAF.
However, construction of the first facility to combine a BOF with a compact
strip production plant started operation in 1994 in the United States (77). Recently,
two European integrated steel manufacturers, Hoogovens (Netherlands)
and Thyssen (Germany), announced that they will install thin slab casters with
annual capacities of 1.2 and 1.5 million tonnes of strip, respectively (72, 78, 79).’
