Salzgitter AG is a European steel and technology group with operations spanning steel production, processing, global trading, and specialized machinery. The company's business model is structured around four primary segments: Steel Production, Steel Processing, Trading, and Technology. The Steel Production division manufactures flat steel products, including hot-rolled and cold-rolled strips, as well as heavy and medium plates, serving the automotive, construction, and mechanical engineering industries. The Steel Processing segment, operating primarily under the Mannesmann brand, specializes in the production of seamless and welded steel tubes and pipes for the energy and infrastructure sectors. The Trading division manages a global sales network and distribution channels for the group's steel products. Additionally, the Technology segment, driven by its KHS subsidiary, develops and manufactures filling and packaging machinery for the beverage industry. In 2023, the Steel Production and Steel Processing segments collectively accounted for the majority of the group's revenue, followed by the Trading and Technology divisions. Salzgitter also holds a significant minority stake in Aurubis AG, Europe's largest copper producer. The company is actively pursuing its SALCOS (Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking) transformation program, aiming to transition to near-zero carbon steel production by 2033.
