A life-saver and guardian angel in every situation: how steel makes our world and our
Welcome!
Our look back at the year 2019 is also a look ahead: Hydrogen – without doubt the most im- portant topic that our Group magazine STIL has reported on in the past year – has an important role to play in decarbonizing the steel industry in the coming years. The Salzgitter Group is pioneering this development with its “SALCOS – SAlzgitter Low CO2-Steelmaking” project. The new directions already heralded by this project and the steps to come are described in detail in this “Best of ” retrospective.
We also paid a visit to friends, customers and business partners in France, where the Salzgitter Group is active in a number of areas. One thing we learned was why the “Orangina” soft drink that is so typical of our neighboring country finds its way so swiftly and so perfectly into cans: It’s all thanks to the canning systems supplied by our subsidiary KHS.
And of course in addition to all the stories, reports and news from our business areas and subsidiaries, we can’t overlook our fascination with steel as a material: As a subject of scientific research, as a guardian angel and saver of lives in many situations, as a companion on adventures to explore the eternal ice, and as an integral part of the world’s favorite rollercoasters.
The “Best of ” Salzgitter AG demonstrates once again the huge importance of steel in so many areas of our lives.
We hope you will enjoy reading our magazine! Bernhard Kleinermann
