SSAB is introducing five new product ranges – or ‘families’ for specific customer needs. Each product family has optimised offers based on meeting specific needs, tailoring to production processes, and maximising end-product performance.
“Customers want to know what a product can offer, so it makes sense to group our products according to how they are used,” says Olavi Huhtala, Head of SSAB Europe. “This will make it much easier to identify the right product for the right application. We have created these optimised offers by combining recently-developed products with a selection of the best products from our earlier ranges.”
The new product ranges also provide SSAB´s customers with direct access to the company´s extensive offering of services and support. Customers are welcome to contact SSAB for workshop recommendations and technical support on how to improve their productivity.
The merger between SSAB and Ruukki has resulted in a restructuring of SSAB’s steel portfolio. Last year, SSAB announced some new offerings and this product launch, together with a forthcoming relaunch of the Docol brand for the automotive industry, will complete SSAB´s new product portfolio.
The SSAB brand families just introduced include hot rolled plate, hot and cold rolled strip, metal coated and tubes and sections. The new optimised offerings within steel and services are:
SSAB Domex – a wide range of versatile structural steel with excellent cold-forming properties for high productivity and reliable performance
SSAB Boron – a hardenable steel made for the easy and consistent production of wear-resistant products quenched in the customer’s own workshop
SSAB Form – the right choice for stamping, stretching, deep drawing, bending, metal spinning and other forming procedures, particularly in high volume production requiring exact and consistent properties
SSAB Laser® Plus – a structural steel for efficient laser, water and plasma cutting, improving yield and product quality thanks to guaranteed flatness after cutting, low internal stresses and smooth surface.
Finally, SSAB Weathering and COR-TEN® provide customers with a wide choice and flexible ordering of high-strength corrosion-resistant steel grades.
