SSAB, a global leader in high-strength steel production, features Strenx® performance steel and the benefits it brings to construction equipment in Central Hall booth #31215 at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023. Strenx® is a high-strength structural steel that successfully helps manufacturers around the world build stronger, lighter and more sustainable equipment, in uses ranging from lifting and land clearing to earthmoving, material handling, hauling and trucking.
Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB group, completed the modernization of the bending machine at the Vimpeli plant in Finland in January 2023. The modernization is part of the Ruukki-wide investment program and the Vimpeli Flow investment project that started in December 2021. The project aims to improve employee safety and efficiency, reduce plant emissions by improving energy efficiency, and to support Ruukki’s strategic target to grow sustainably together with customers by ensuring the high quality of customer deliveries.
SSAB has updated its Supplier Code of Conduct (SCOC) to further clarify expectations toward suppliers. The new version includes topics such as human rights, modern slavery, biodiversity, recycling and fair competition and antitrust in alignment with international standards.
SSAB and its subsidiary Ruukki Construction are donating materials to Ukraine for the reconstruction of roofs and to make field stoves. These products will be transported to homes by the charity OperationAid.
With more than 40 years’ experience in tipper manufacturing, GF Engineering is a market leader in the segment in Malaysia. Since making Hardox® 500 Tuf steel its material of choice, its tippers last longer, weigh less and can handle heavier loads than ever before.
Since switching from SSAB’s Hardox® 450 steel to Hardox® 500 Tuf, M. Torre, a Spanish manufacturer of tipper bodies for the recycling industry, has extended the lifespan of its products without having to alter its processes. The result is a tipper body that is not only between 25 and 30% more durable, but also lighter and more sustainable.
When Polish Bodex wanted to improve the durability of its vehicles, without increasing the weight, it looked no further than SSAB Steel Service Center Oborniki. The result is an innovative new trailer design made from Hardox® 500 Tuf steel that is stronger, more durable, and more sustainable.
