Efficient surface machining

The surface of the steels after hot forming and heat treatment has a more or less thick oxide layer that does not have the metallurgical or mechanical-technological properties of the base material.

The larger the dimensions, the thicker the layer. This results in considerable, unproductive weight on the surface. We have high-performance systems that save you the trouble of removing the rolling or forging skin and provide you with products that are easy on your tools and machining resources.

Our steel bars are offered in the following processing stages:

  • Peeled 
  • Turned 
  • Polished 
  • Milled on four or six sides (square or flat dimensions)

Another advantage is the more precise ultrasonic and surface crack testing of the machined products. The connection of the most modern automatic testing equipment  to the peeling units enables defects to be detected with maximum accuracy and gives you the certainty of receiving products of the highest quality.

Sawing to fixed or short lengths, drilling of bars up to a drilling diameter of 200 mm and the processing of rotationally symmetrical moulded parts round off the processing spectrum of Swiss Steel Group.

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.
