High-performance products are created where material and processing expertise seamlessly mesh. The collaboration between the voestalpine Steel Division and voestalpine Krems GmbH shows how know-how along the entire value chain is pooled to create innovative solutions for demanding applications.
From material development to research and development, through to further processing, the two companies have a common aspiration: highest quality and maximum performance.
A crucial basis of the collaboration is the optimal supply of primary material by the voestalpine Steel Division. Extremely tight tolerances regarding strip thickness, excellent mechanical properties, and precise chemical compositions form the basis for consistently high-quality processing results.
Particularly for demanding applications, these properties are key. They ensure high process reliability and form the basis for the development of high-performance product solutions.
With our steels, we create the foundation for stable processes, the highest quality standards, and reliable further processing. Our close collaboration with voestalpine Krems GmbH demonstrates the added value that an integrated value chain offers for demanding applications.

One example of the successful partnership of the two companies is endurance dynamic from voestalpine Krems GmbH based on a high-purity, micro-alloyed, thermomechanically rolled steel specially developed by voestalpine.
Combined with the forming know-how of voestalpine Krems, cold-rolled hollow sections for dynamic loads are created, which open up new possibilities for demanding applications.
This makes it possible to address applications that have previously often required hot-formed hollow sections. The coordinated interaction of material and roll forming technology combines the expertise of both companies.
Here in Krems we have unique material expertise and processing skills in the roll forming field of technology. Together, they go hand in hand and make innovative products such as endurance dynamic possible in the first place. The roll forming process plays a decisive role, as it is what allows the full potential of the material to be exploited.

The partnership between voestalpine Stahl and voestalpine Krems extends far beyond the provision of primary material: The two companies share the goal of providing customers with the best possible support throughout the entire value chain.
By combining material expertise, research, and processing expertise, solutions emerge that meet the high quality standards while at the same time opening up new possibilities for future developments.
