You must cope with extreme Gen3 AHSS annealing cycles, challenging high alloyed steel coatings or specific process parameters to reach exposed surface quality products. We have the expertise and technologies to help you succeed in the demanding automotive steel market and to put you ahead of the competition.
Achieving success
Meeting the challenges of AHSS & UHSS
Advanced and ultra high-strength steels - characterized by their very high tensile strength and high elongation - must adapt to automotive design and reduced emissions, while maintaining the strength required to keep drivers and passengers safe.
With numerous annealing and galvanizing line references in the last decades, we have the know-how and the technology to enable you to meet your production goals, reach new markets and exceed your customers’ expectations.
