Innovation

We continously invest in the modernisation of our production equipment and in processes with the highest environmental standards. The expertise of all our employees and our efficient research & development department guarantee that our products will maintain this high technical and quality standard in the future.

Within the years 2006 - 2010 we invest about Euro 70 million in the expansion of our production capacity as well as in further improvement of our product quality.

Our Research & Development department continually developes the basis for new materials for more complex applications and contributes to the optimisation of our production processes. Additional work includes simulations of material performance such as weldability, deformation and edging behavior, fatigue tests and fracture mechanics. These tests provide a complete performance profile of our steels under practical conditions.
