GREEN STEEL FOR THE ALPS

The Swiss steel industry is making a huge leap toward a higher level of sustainability. As a pioneer, SPAETER AG has received initial deliveries from voestalpine in the innovative greentec steel Edition and is now making history as the first Swiss steel reseller of environmentally friendlier steel. This is a real milestone for greener supply chains!

A DYNAMIC DUO FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

The steel industry is gradually changing from gray to green and, as a long-term partner of voestalpine, SPAETER will play a key role in this transition. The two companies are working hand in hand in an effort to revolutionize the industry. Thanks to close cooperation with voestalpine, SPAETER now sells premium-quality sheets that have a reduced carbon footprint and arrive on time at the customer thanks to the just-in-time company supply service. That's what I call a win-win situation for quality and climate protection!

Mischa Kaeslin, the committed managing director of Steel & Metal at SPAETER AG, summarizes it like this: "We are taking our responsibility seriously and bringing a high-quality product to climate-friendly Switzerland. SPAETER is setting the standard."

SUSTAINABILITY AS A CORPORATE PRINCIPLE

SPAETER stands for sustainability, a fact that becomes self-evident when you look at the following examples:

  • With a total of 1600 photovoltaic modules, SPAETER generates 650,000 kWh a year, making the company nearly climate-neutral.
  • A growing fleet of e-trucks and an increase in rail transports reduce the carbon footprint even further. Green fact: Of course voestalpine ships the material by train!
  • Employees are not neglected either. SPAETER implements the highest standards in the areas of occupational health and safety and promotes diversity. This means that happy people are working on a more livable future!

TOGETHER FOR A SUSTAINABLE CLIMATE

The decision in favor of the greentec steel Edition marks the beginning of a climate-friendly steel business. The demand for CO2-reduced materials is steadily growing and putting voestalpine, SPAETER and their customers in the sustainability fast lane.

SPAETER is the first Swiss steel reseller to sell the greentec steel Edition. We can all applaud this important step toward a more climate-friendly future.
