Exhibition
RE-OPENING - NEW PERSPECTIVES
After around two years of renovation, voestalpine Stahlwelt reopened its redesigned exhibition area in June 2026, with comprehensive architectural, technical, and conceptual updates. Open spaces, new sightlines, and digital staging create fresh perspectives on voestalpine.
Enter the Grid
At the heart of the new exhibition is the Grid—a suspended, walkable structure made of around 138 tons of steel, including 40 tons in the greentec steel edition. It forms the spatial and conceptual backbone of the exhibition, representing voestalpine’s technological excellence, innovative strength, and its transformation toward net-zero CO₂ steel production.
The Grid connects content, exhibits, and visitors within an open, networked system. Around 8,500 individually controllable LED light points create a unique and dynamic lighting experience. The structure was built by voestalpine Krems Finaltechnik, using steel produced by voestalpine Stahl in Linz. Visitors experience the exhibition across multiple dimensions, with vertical sightlines offering perspectives that invite exploration and reflection.
Exhibition Highlights
Across five newly designed levels—three located within the Grid—the exhibition presents voestalpine as a globally active group across diverse industries, including automotive, mechanical engineering, aerospace, energy, railway infrastructure, medical technology, and special profiles.
The exhibition also conveys fundamental knowledge about steel—its production, processing, and applications—with a strong focus on greentec steel, voestalpine’s step-by-step plan for transforming steel production.
Some exhibits, such as car body parts, high-speed switches, or aircraft suspension components, clearly reflect voestalpine’s expertise. Others—like an astronaut helmet, a surfboard, a racing luge, or a piggy bank—invite a closer look to reveal their connection to voestalpine. Together, they open up new and fascinating perspectives on the company and its products.
Digital Experience
The exhibition combines traditional content with modern digital communication. All visitors receive a tablet that enables a rich multimedia experience, while interactive stations help present complex topics in an engaging and accessible way.
Warning: The exhibition contains visual effects (e.g., flickering lights) that may cause health issues or trigger seizures in individuals with photosensitivity.
