History
Medieval hammers, driven by the power of the rivers. Inventors, ideas, patents and company foundations in the pioneering days of European heavy industry. Revolutionary progress, restructuring, new technologies, growth: We are the heirs of groundbreaking inventions, and we recognize the responsibility this brings. The voestalpine BÖHLER companies today are located on sites with a long history in steelworking.
