Further information about the voestalpine Group

  • History

    On May 13, 1938, in Linz-St. Peter, ground was broken for the Reichswerke Aktiengesellschaft für Erzbergbau und Eisenhütten “Hermann Göring”, a subsidiary of the Reichswerke AG Berlin founded a year earlier. This marked the beginning of voestalpine, around 80 years ago. 

    Since that date, our Group has celebrated many important milestones in its history: they include privatization in 1995; our Group becoming international; commissioning of the world’s largest pilot facility for the CO2-neutral production of green hydrogen in the steel industry in 2019; and the groundbreaking ceremony for the world’s most advanced special steel plant in Kapfenberg, to name but a few.

    Since 2000, we as voestalpine has offered our employees a shareholding scheme which was jointly developed by our Group’s management and Works Council.

    This innovative concept allows existing and former employees to acquire their own shares in the company.  By bundling their voting rights, they become a stable core shareholder, as well as profiting from our success as individual shareholders. Currently, around 26,660 employees are members of the employee shareholding scheme, together holding around 25,5 million shares.
