René is shift manager of the “five D-shift” in the test center and therefore an early bird and night owl at the same time, at home everywhere and responsible for everything. Stressful? No – just right for him.
We attach great importance to research and development. In our more than 70 companies, almost 800 employees research and develop new products and processes. To this end, we have increased our research budget to 244 million euros in the current financial year.
Florian checks exactly what is good for him and puts this talent to perfect use in our new testing center in Linz. Here he makes a significant contribution to quality assurance so that – as he says – “all the steel grades we produce are tested in accordance with the relevant standards”. How strong and […]
At voestalpine, we are building bridges and tunnels as part of greentec steel, our program for the conversion to steel production with net zero CO2-emissions. The new 800 meter-long conveyor belt bridge that will also supply the electric arc furnace with raw materials from 2027 onwards was recently completed.
We are joining the trend to decarbonize steel production by going the electric arc furnace route. The basis for green steel is the pioneering technological transition from the blast furnace route to the use of electric arc furnaces powered by green electricity. Here we explain what will stay the same, and what will change.
The entire project team is already caught up in the excitement of greentec steel, and not just in Linz. As part of Austria’s largest climate protection program and voestalpine’s most extensive investment project to date, a fresh, green steel wind is now also blowing at the site in Donawitz. It is a megaproject, one that […]
Bianca creates interfaces between our numerical worlds and those of our customers and suppliers. She successfully mediates between programmers and users, creating smooth, efficient digital processes. And she also sets vocal accents – most recently in our image film for #OurFavoriteThings.
As the successor to the Ariane 5 launcher, for which voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl manufactured the launcher housing, the first Ariane 6 took off on its inaugural flight from the ESA spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, at the beginning of July after a good ten years of development. It could take off because voestalpine is once […]
Months before InnoTrans, which takes place every two years in Berlin, preparations for the most important international trade fair for transportation technology are already in full swing. Two of our four divisions in particular are very busy before and during InnoTrans: the voestalpine Railway Systems business unit of the Metal Engineering Division and the Steel […]
24 nations, a round leather ball and pure emotion: the first match of the European Men’s Football Championship kicked off last Friday. Sport-loving Europe and the world are looking to Germany via TV and stream. Reason enough for us to take a look at the soccer highlight of the year. Because some of our products […]
To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, our greentec steel activities include actively researching new processes and investing in projects that offer new ways to produce steel. In doing so, our goal is to create a climate-neutral process chain: from the production of green hydrogen, to the conversion of CO2 into storable materials. […]
As the voestalpine Group, we committed to setting specific targets to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2022. Our proposed targets have now been reviewed and validated by the SBTi: our greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are in line with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change […]
After eight exciting months packed with new experiences 31 participants successfully completed our Early Career Program in October 2023. This program is unique, providing employees from our North American group companies with active guidance during the first stages of their voestalpine career.
Since 2020, ideas have been actively and intensely cultivated in Linz. Innovative projects are growing and flourishing in the voestalpine Group Steel Division’s new business incubator (nbi), with some already having been successfully established in the company.
On June 12, voestalpine Rotec in Poland opened a new, approx. 4,000 m² large production hall. It will significantly enhance our Polish subsidiary’s capacity to effectively meet the evolving tubular component needs of our customers from the automotive as well as other industries. The new, fully automated state-of-the art production lines were designed and built […]
Florian says of himself that he is not a professional runner. Nevertheless, he is fast, as he proved at this year’s Vienna City Marathon, among other events. There, he and his running colleagues took home the victory in the relay. He told us in an interview what sports also brings to his job in Global […]
The speed skating world championships once again offered our high-speed steel a widely recognized stage. Things heated up when BÖHLER steel and voestalpine Precision Strip’s bimetal strip demonstrated their world-class performance in Heerenveen, the Netherlands.
