WIRE is considered the most important international platform for the wire and cable industry. For Swiss Steel Group, it offers the opportunity to showcase its portfolio and its position as a supplier of specialty steels for demanding applications.
Wide range of industrial applications
Under the motto “Make Steel Matter,” the company demonstrates just how crucial specialty steel is to progress. Swiss Steel Group’s specialty steels are used in a wide variety of applications—including the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, energy supply, and medical technology. They are often components of safety-critical or high-stress parts and contribute to the functionality and reliability of technical systems.
What this means in concrete terms can be summed up in numbers: Products made from Swiss Steel Group steel are part of the daily lives of more than 200 million people. Around 18,500 customers worldwide rely on the Group’s products and solutions. These are used in more than 12,000 applications and are part of numerous industrial value chains. With 17 production sites and 61 sales and service locations, the company has an international presence and is close to its customers.
Focus on machinability and process stability
A key focus of the trade show presentation is the topic of machinability. The properties of a material during further processing have a direct impact on productivity, costs, and process reliability.
Steels with optimized machinability enable higher cutting speeds, longer tool life, and more stable machining processes. This helps make production processes more efficient and reduce total cost of ownership. To this end, the Swiss Steel Group is showcasing its portfolio of materials specifically designed for reliable and cost-effective machining.
Sustainable Steel Production
Another key focus is the sustainable orientation of steel production. Swiss Steel Group consistently relies on the electric steelmaking route and produces steel from scrap. Approximately 92% of the metallic raw materials used come from recycled material, with around 1.3 million tons of scrap processed annually.
On this basis, the company achieves a significantly reduced carbon footprint: emissions stand at around 0.17 t CO₂ per ton of crude steel (Scopes 1+2), which is up to 85% below the global average for the steel industry (Scopes 1, 2, and partly 3, World Steel Mix). At the same time, a large portion of the energy supply comes from low-emission sources—around 83% is derived from low-carbon energy, with a growing share coming from renewable sources.
This commitment has also been externally recognized:
Swiss Steel Group once again received the top grade of “A” in the CDP rating for climate protection. Additionally, the company was awarded the Platinum Medal by EcoVadis, the platform’s highest rating for sustainability performance. These ratings underscore the company’s progress in reducing emissions, using recycled materials, and transparently disclosing environmental data.
Trade Show Presence in Düsseldorf
Swiss Steel Group will be exhibiting at WIRE 2026 in Hall 12, Booth A28. The booth will offer insights into the product portfolio, application examples, and the company’s technological and sustainable focus.
