“With the selected company names we want to highlight the affiliation of the two plants to the Saarstahl Group and to our corporate strategy, both internally and for the public. This is also important for the employees of the plants in Hayange and Saint-Saulve and is part of the ongoing integration of the two plants into the Saarstahl Group production network,” explained Dr. Klaus Richter, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Saarstahl and member of the executive management of SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar.

Saarstahl is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of quality long steel products. Saarstahl Rail’s rail business will be a key element in the company’s future strategy: “We want to produce high-quality infrastructure products there and thus actively shape and advance the development of sustainable mobility solutions. With Saarstahl Ascoval, we have also intentionally invested in a new route using electric arc furnace to produce green steel,” Richter added. The EAF steel route will also open up future possibilities for Saarstahl to offer a broader range of products – made from premium-quality steel with a carbon-neutral footprint.
