Bremer Stahl Service relies on SALCOS® HEAVY PLATES

If processed steel is needed, Bremer Stahl Service is the place to go. The company delivers steel plates, profiles and bars according to customer specifications. In addition to its wide range of products with a high degree of vertical integration, the service-oriented steel trader will be adding low-emission steel to its portfolio. The Bremen-based company intends to purchase SALCOS® HEAVY PLATES from Ilsenburg in the near future.

Bremer Stahl Service stores several thousand tons of steel in its 285,000 square meter warehouse in Bremen's Hansalinie industrial park. Customers from the machine and plant construction, heavy and special machinery, and shipbuilding industries often buy much more than just steel plates, round bars, guide rails, or profiles cut to size. The high level of vertical integration in cutting, edging, drilling and welding ensures that the industry receives precisely fitting parts for machines or ships directly from Bremer Stahl Service.

The privately owned steel trader and processor defines itself as a service provider and tailors its product range to customer requirements. As the demand for low-emission steel increases, Bremer Stahl Service will be sourcing SALCOS® HEAVY PLATES from Ilsenburg in the future. "In the transition to climate-neutral steel production, we rely on a network of strong partners, and the agreement with Bremer Stahl Service is another important step on the road to decarbonization," says Tony Dachner, Sales Manager at Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH, expressing his satisfaction with the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).  

With the SALCOS® - Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking program, the Salzgitter Group is moving towards climate-neutral steel production. Using direct reduction plants, hydrogen will gradually replace the carbon previously required for steel production, reducing CO₂ emissions by around 95% by 2033. Ilsenburger Grobblech can already be supplied with low-emission steel from the Group's own plant in Peine. The slabs are produced in the electric arc furnace using scrap metal. These heavy plates have a global warming potential (GWP) of 590.9 kg CO₂ equivalent per ton and thus already save 75% of CO₂ emissions compared to conventional production.
