Creating the future of metals as one

PRIMETALS TECHNOLOGIES

In January 2015, Mitsubishi-Hitachi Metals Machinery and Siemens VAI Metals Technologies have joined forces to form a new company: Primetals Technologies.
PRIMETALS  TECHNOLOGIES

By combining the complementary strengths of both partners, a globally operating enterprise with a world-class product portfolio has been established that is a leading engineering, plant-building and lifecycle partner for the metals industry.

 

The new company offers a complete technology, product and service portfolio that includes integrated electrics, automation and environmental solutions. This covers every step of the iron and steel production chain that extends from the raw materials to the finished product – in addition to the latest rolling solutions for the nonferrous metals sector.

 

On the basis of the experience acquired from the successful completion of thousands of projects for the metals industry, Primetals Technologies provides advanced and optimized solutions for integrated steelworks and minimills, for new and existing plants, and for all auxiliary facilities. Our integrated portfolio comprises mechanical equipment and mechatronic systems; drives, motors, automation, electrics and electronics; as well as utility supply and energy technologies. Primetals Technologies manufactures much of the core components used in its plant machinery at its own state-of-the-art factories and workshops. This ensures that the machines and systems we supply meet the highest standards with respect to workmanship, reliability and durability.

 

A key focus is placed on the continuous improvement of products and processes. This is achieved in both incremental steps and by fostering a culture of innovation within the company. The results are seen in groundbreaking solutions and pioneering product developments that enable our customers to meet the increasingly stringent requirements for environmental emissions while reducing energy consumption, production downtime and operational costs.

 

Primetals Technologies has unrivaled experience in the upgrading of metallurgical plants. The goal is to ensure that machines and equipment operate at peak performance and cost-efficiently throughout their entire lifetime. Through the installation of innovative technology packages and process-optimization systems, we create long-term value for our customers. This is shown by major improvements in productivity, quality, flexibility and safety.
