Metals & Mining
The metals and mining industry is a cornerstone of the global economy and has been supplying raw materials for a wide variety of industries for centuries. Forward-looking technologies such as wind turbines or batteries also depend on these basic materials. At the same time, the iron and steel industry is one of the world's largest industrial energy consumers and CO2 emitters. Recycling via EAF and the use of renewable energies ("Green Steel") shall reduce CO2 emissions in the future.
The metals and mining industry extends from raw material extraction and metal processing to trading and recycling. Digitalisation, conservation of resources and reduction of energy consumption are the future themes in mining. New technologies are also being promoted with a view to sustainability. We offer our customers ad-hoc support along the entire value chain.
