Innovative solutions for the future
Whatever our customers require, our priority is always to come up with a solution that is sustainable and innovative and will give our customers an edge going forward.
Various projects have confirmed that this is the right approach. One of them is the StreetScooter, the first all-electric delivery van used by the parcel service Deutsche Post DHL Group. Or take the MINI from BMW. Our ZM Ecoprotect zinc-magnesium coating for steel sets new standards for corrosion protection and processing.
These projects show that steel is a material that still has a great deal to offer in terms of development and innovation
We are a strong team
The innovative ideas and energy of our employees are key to developing and positioning steel as the material of the future and maintaining our leading position on the European market.
This pioneering role is made possible for example by 19 patents, courtesy of Dr. Brigitte Hammer and safe passenger cells, courtesy of Dr. Ekaterina Bocharova. And of course by engineers who ensure that new products are also practical to use and produce, such as Dr. Stefan Myslowicki, who is helping put tribond® into vehicles around the world.
Steel, the material of the future
We are fully convinced of steel’s potential. It is versatile and sustainable. And thanks to steel, tomorrow starts today.
Our powercore®® electrical steels are a good example of this. In various applications they are driving the transition to renewables – as core materials for generators, transformers and motors. On the other hand the special forming properties of tribond®® are already offering car manufacturers new ways of saving weight while at the same time enhancing occupant safety.
And thyssenkrupp also has an ideal solution for car body panels: litecor® is an efficient steel-elastomer sandwich material that allows cars to be built even lighter.
Environmental and social responsiblity
As a major industrial enterprise, thyssenkrupp’s Steel business is aware of its environmental and social responsibility. We therefore work constantly to develop technologies that help keep the footprint of a major organization as small as possible.
Our Carbon2Chem Initiative shows how this can work. The idea is to use steel mill gases as raw materials for chemical products – including the CO2 they contain. The process uses surplus energy from renewable sources. And with the world’s biggest fabric filter in Duisburg we can filter out almost 100 percent of the dust generated during the production of sinter to improve air quality.
It is particularly pleasing when our efforts in this area are recognized and rewarded. Winning a Steelie Award at the 50th annual conference of the World Steel Association in 2016 was a particular honor – and proof that steel is a sustainable material.
