Transportation and logistics
Steel is indispensable
in the transportation and logistics industry
With our high-quality steel products, we keep the modern world moving
Thanks to its resistance to extreme conditions and loads, steel ensures that vehicles and infrastructure always function reliably, even in the most demanding conditions.
To make this happen, steel is used in drive components for commercial vehicles and ships, hoists and lifting equipment in materials handling and intralogistics, and special materials for the aerospace industry. Steel is the often-invisible architect ensuring that our globalized world runs smoothly.
Market trend: e-commerce
Warehouse and materials handling technology
The market for warehouse and materials handling technology is rapidly growing, driven by the strong growth of e-commerce and the increasing adoption of multichannel logistics by a wide range of industries. We supply this market with, for example, hot-rolled special profiles for materials handling equipment, as well as warehouse and logistics structures.
Green Steel for the energy and raw materials market
Low emissions
for a greener future
In a constantly evolving world, our steel remains an indispensable building block for sustainable transportation and logistical infrastructure. We supply products and lightweight solutions while minimizing our CO2 emissions. In closed-loop collaborations with customers, we return metal products to the steel production process, either as production scrap or when they reach the end of their life cycles.
What you can expect
We produce hot-rolled special profiles and have our own tool production facility
We are a leading global manufacturer of hot-rolled special profiles for materials handling. We supply almost all of the world’s leading forklift truck manufacturers with lift mast profiles, fork carriage profiles and sideshift profiles. We manufacture the rollers required for production in-house, in close consultation with our customers.
We forge products with oversize dimensions
We forge and machine our products with the utmost precision and test them extensively before delivery, from closed-die forgings weighing up to 3.5 metric tons through to ready-to-install crankshafts weighing up to 20 metric tons. Our products are in use and in demand worldwide, for example in shipbuilding.
