Outstanding steel properties for outstanding designs

Focus on highest quality: With state-of-the-art production facilities, the latest technologies and comprehensive know-how, we produce fine-grained structural steel in premium quality that meets your high demands and offers a clear added value thanks to unique advantages.

alform® steels ensure a significant weight saving in lightweight structures.

Significant weight savings

Without compromising stability, lower material thicknesses are possible and save weight when using high-strength and ultra-high-strength alform® steels.


alform® steels are characterized by high load-bearing capacity in everyday use under extreme conditions.

High static load capacity

At maximum load, alform® demonstrates its full strength and can withstand high stress, even when the material thickness is reduced.


Excellent edging as well as very good welding suitability due to low carbon content are characteristic of the high-strength alform® steels.

Best processing characteristics

The excellent characteristics of alform® are especially noticeable during the welding and edging processes, and further processing is simple.


Just the right steel product to meet your requirements

Whether it be for concrete pumps, knuckle-boom cranes, scrap charging buckets, railcars etc., alform® steels are available in coils, slit strip or sheets from hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel strip, or as heavy plate, depending on the design and application.
