Facing challenges - In a recent interview with Moneycab, our CEO Frank Koch talks about the challenging times for the manufacturing industry. Despite global uncertainties, we are determined to actively shape change and find future-oriented solutions. The global economic situation presents us with major challenges. The recession in Europe, high energy costs and unstable supply chains are having a particular impact on the manufacturing industry. In Germany, the automotive and mechanical engineering industries are undergoing a profound transformation. However, with our focus on special steels developed for complex applications and our sustainable “green steel”, we are creating a clear advantage. We are continuously working towards the full realization of an environmentally sustainable, robust and resilient Group, but this still requires time and significant commitment.

With perfect weather, our 3rd “Fit into Autumn” run brought 130 participants, including DEW CEO Dr. Lutz Ernenputsch, together for a day of fun, fitness, and creativity! 🎉 They started with a lively 10-minute warm-up to get everyone ready and prevent injuries. The event took a fun twist as many participants turned the race into a “Carnival Run,” showing up in creative costumes. The course was full of excitement, with music, a water station, and for the first time ever – a candy bar! 🍬 After the race, we celebrated with the awarding of the challenge trophy, where three participants won the first-place trophy for the third year in a row, earning the right to keep it (fastest runner, fastest walker, fastest female walker). There were also prizes for the funniest costume, furthest travel distance, the best finish, and most dedicated helper. After our employees started the fall fit & healthy, we wrapped up the evening with food, drinks, and great company. We can’t wait for next year’s run! 🏆 #FitIntoAutumn #swisssteelgroup #teamspirit #siegen #run

We made a significant investment in the modernization of our Sorel production facility in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. The modernization includes replacing the current 5,000-ton press with a state-of-the-art 6,700-ton press and transitioning from a natural gas-powered forging furnace to an energy-efficient electric furnace. These innovations will enhance productivity, improve product quality, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. “We are committed to being a world leader in forged tool steel by continuously improving our quality, productivity, and capacity,” said Frank Koch, CEO of SSG. “This project is a critical step in securing our operations in Quebec for the future while also contributing to global decarbonization efforts.” The investment was partially supported by both the Canadian and Quebec governments, highlighting the importance of this initiative for the regional industry and the global environmental strategy. The 6,700-ton press not only increases processing capabilities but also reduces material waste thanks to its precision. The shift to an electric furnace is a critical move toward decarbonization, helping both our customers and us meet ambitious climate goals. 📸 Nath B #sorel #electricfurnace  #canada #productivity #co2emissions  #steelindustry

We are delighted to share deep insights into our journey towards decarbonization in the latest #ESGTalk podcast. Alberto Kio, CTO of the Science-Based Targets Initiative and Frank Koch, our CEO, join Mandi McReynolds to discuss long-term decarbonization strategies, the steel industry's commitment to sustainable production, and the importance of full emissions transparency. We are getting valuable insights into how managers in the steel industry are shaping the path to a sustainable future and what role politics, technology and cooperation play in this. This and more topics such as the challenges and opportunities of switching to electric steel production, technological innovations to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions, as well as the role of politics and regulatory framework conditions await you in the new podcast episode. 👉 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/e5zRRNaQ #ESG #ESGTalk #Sustainability #Decarbonization #steelindustry #carbonfootprint

We not only invest in technology, but also in the professionals of tomorrow. 92 young talents are starting their apprenticeships or dual study programs at our locations in Germany and France.

Beim Nationalen #Stahlgipfel in Duisburg betonte unser CEO Frank Koch, vermehrt auf die Elektrostahl - Route zu setzen, um so die Transformation der Stahlindustrie weiter voranzutreiben. Wir stehen heute vor der dringenden Notwendigkeit, eine neue Stahlstrategie zu entwickeln, die den Fokus stärker auf Elektrostahl legt. Elektrostahl bietet die beste Brückentechnologie für die Transformation der Stahlindustrie. Seine Umsetzung ist risikofrei, kostengünstiger als der Wechsel zu anderen Technologien und flexibel in den bestehenden Produktionsprozess integrierbar. Elektrostahl ist Mittelstandsstahl, dieser darf bei dem Transformationsprozess nicht vergessen werden. Fast 100% der Fördergelder fließen in Hochofenprojekte, obwohl 70% der Produktion auf dieser Route basiert. Wir müssen die Chancen des Elektrostahls nutzen und die Produktion gezielt fördern. #Stahlindustrie #Elektrostahl #Stahlproduktion #ZukunftStahl
