High-precision consumer solutions

We offer precision strip steel products for the most demanding environments and consumer applications where superior control of production parameters is crucial.

You will find our solutions where quality is essential, and the chemical composition is critical to meet the feature requirement of each application.

Our consumer offerings include razor blade steel, and knife steel and precision strip steel for white goods compressors and air conditioners. Our advanced materials can also be found in watches, microwave ovens, computers, tablets, and mobile telephones.

Energy-efficient compressors

The key to making heat pumps and air conditioning units use less energy is the compressor valve. This small part is often described as the heart of the unit because it carries out the critical task of regulating the flow and pressure of the refrigerant in the cooling system.

The compressor valve steel market is growing fast, driven by a growing and increasing population, improved living standards, and not least the need for more energy-efficient solutions.

Our compressor valve steel with enhanced fatigue properties which can be exposed to tougher operational conditions, is a key for designing a more energy-efficient compressor.
