Swiss Steel Group will present its latest developments in the field of specialty long steel at WIRE 2026, a trade fair for wire and cable held next month in Düsseldorf, Germany. The focus will be on applications that contribute to the efficiency of industrial processes, as well as solutions with a reduced carbon footprint.
Under the motto “Make Steel Matter,” the company demonstrates just how crucial specialty steel is to progress. The company's specialty steels are used in a variety of applications—including the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, energy supply, and medical technology. They are often components of safety-critical or high-stress parts and contribute to the functionality and reliability of technical systems.
A key focus of the trade show presentation is the topic of machinability. The properties of a material during further processing have a direct impact on productivity, costs, and process reliability. Steels with optimized machinability enable higher cutting speeds, longer tool life, and more stable machining processes.
Another key focus is the sustainable orientation of steel production. Swiss Steel Group consistently relies on the electric steelmaking route and produces steel from scrap. Approximately 92% of the metallic raw materials used come from recycled material, with around 1.3 million tons of scrap processed annually.
