Powerful and Efficient

Every component manufacturer and plant builder has individual requirements, but they all share the same goals: efficient component production, short lead times, compact designs, and consistently high-performance technologies.

To construct systems like wind turbines, specialized solutions are required. Machines and components, gearboxes, or ball bearings place the highest demands on the material. The rotor diameter of a modern wind turbine often exceeds one hundred meters, and at full load, the rotor rotates at around six meters per second. This results in high dynamic loads, which can only be realized with quality construction and bearing steel, including micro-alloyed versions. Our customers can rely on the load-bearing capacity, precision, and durability of our steel.

Compact and Highly Durable Special Steels

For the specific requirements in mechanical engineering, Swiss Steel Group develops tailor-made steel solutions of the highest strength. The steels must not only be high-strength but also enable high-precision component production. Our machining-optimized ETG® and HSX® special steels combine these properties. For instance, they are used in drive technology shafts, where they withstand high loads durably and maintain shape stability, contributing to smooth operation.

With special steel from Swiss Steel Group, users can realize compact constructions that operate reliably even under the highest loads. The result is machines and systems characterized by reduced maintenance, lower operating costs, and competitiveness.

New EU steel safeguard measures change framework conditions for Steeltec

The European Union (EU) has adopted new steel safeguard measures that will enter into force on July 1, 2026. Duty-free import volumes into the EU will be reduced by 47% from 34.5 million tons to 18.3 mil-lion tons. Imports exceeding these quotas will be subject to a tariff of 50%, up from the previous rate of 25%. The measures apply to steel producers from third countries, including Switzerland, exporting products into the European Union. Steeltec AG, based in Emmenbrücke and part of Swiss Steel Group, is among the companies affected by the new regime.

Firmly anchored in the rock - Swiss Steel Group’s Top12 anchors secure a new section of road high above Lake Lucerne

100 years – that is the lifetime expected for the new section of the K2b cantonal highway between Vitznau and Gersau following its renovation and modernization. This is made possible in no small part by the Top12 special stainless steel from the Swiss Steel Group, from which the anchors for the retaining wall structure and support elements are manufactured. Over a hundred of these were drilled several meters deep into the steep rock face. They secure the walls and beams that support the new, 350-meter-long section of road. The structure is spectacular not only from a geotechnical perspective but also for everyone who drives over it and enjoys a breathtaking view of Lake Lucerne below.

Swiss Steel Group, the specialist in non-magnetic stainless steel

Swiss Steel Group possesses advanced expertise in stainless steels for non-magnetic applications. These steels are produced for the offshore, chemical, and food industries, as well as for medical technology, and are used in high-strength grades for demanding marine applications. The international steel group is now leveraging this expertise through Finkl Steel in a project in Canada. The Deutsche Edelstahlwerke also possess extensive expertise and many years of experience in this field.
