The High Performance Metals Division produces its special steel products at seven locations in Europe and America: Kapfenberg, Bruckbach and Mürzzuschlag (Austria), Wetzlar (Germany), Hagfors (Sweden), Sumaré (Brazil) and South Boston (USA).

The company with the largest production volume is Buderus Edelstahl GmbH in Wetzlar, followed by Böhler Edelstahl GmbH in Kapfenberg, Villares Metals S.A. in Sumaré and Uddeholm Tooling AB in Hagfors. These four companies melt special pre-sorted scrap at temperatures of roughly 1,600° Celsius (liquid phase) for transformation into specialty steel; the annual production volume totals roughly 800,000 tons.

The plants in Wetzlar, Kapfenberg, Hagfors and Sumaré are equipped with electric arc furnices, while induction ovens are available for smaller quantities. Böhler, Uddeholm and Villares Metals also operate electro-slag re-melting units to guarantee the high purity and quality of these special grades, and both Kapfenberg and Sumaré are equipped with vacuum arc re-melting units.

The liquid melt is cast into ingots, which are then hot rolled in state-of-the-art multi-line rolling mills (Kapfenberg, Sumaré) or forged with high-performance machinery (Wetzlar, Kapfenberg, Hagfors, Sumaré).

The production companies supply the Group’s worldwide sales organization with a wide-ranging product line, giving BÖHLER-UDDEHOLM a local presence in all industrial centers of the world. This also applies to the emerging markets in Asia, South America and Eastern Europe. The sales companies are able to deliver standard products to customers within 24 hours.

The warehouses of the sales companies are furnished with modern equipment. Computer-controlled saws cut the materials (blooms, bars, wire) into the desired dimension, and special equipment is also available for surface processing. Well-trained, experienced and highly motivated specialists guarantee on-site customer satisfaction.
