Salzgitter AG has commissioned a new hot straightening machine at its Mülheim plant, a double-digit million euro investment developed with Austrian firm Buma Engineering. CEO Gunnar Groebler stated this move reinforces the group's position as a supplier for wind energy infrastructure, improving competitiveness . The machine will produce thick, high-strength steel plates for offshore wind turbine foundations. This strategic upgrade enables Salzgitter to expand into future markets, leveraging its heavy plate expertise to meet growing renewable energy demands.
