Global steel company SSAB plans to be the first company in the world to get fossil-free steel onto the market. The plan for transitioning to iron-ore based fossil-free steel production was presented to more than 400 customers and key players in the industry, in conjunction with SSAB’s Swedish Steel Prize seminars this week in Stockholm.

The Hardox wear plate product range of abrasion-resistant steel has a worldwide reputation for being both hard and tough, fighting wear in the most severe conditions. Hardox HiAce is the latest product in the range, targeted at applications in acidic and corrosive environments.

One of the rapidly growing product groups last year and this has been the SSAB ERB - expandable rock bolts that are produced in Virsbo, Sweden. Expandable rock bolts are used in underground mines and road and railway tunnels for example. SSAB has been a producer to several leading distributors of rock bolts since 1979, and with our own steelmaking, profiling and assembly of the final SSAB ERB product, we can guarantee excellent production control and product quality.
