Big entrance in Munich

With its world-leading innovation of the alform® welding system and its top quality tube and profile solutions for the construction industry, voestalpine will be represented at the bauma 2013 trade fair in Munich, which runs from the 15 to 21 April.

bauma is the largest trade fair in the world for the entire international construction machinery industry and, as such, is the meeting point for all relevant branches, market leaders and interested trade visitors. This event is therefore an ideal platform for presenting new products and world firsts.

This year voestalpine will be featuring three divisions (Steel Division, Metal Forming Division and Metal Engineering Division) on the new voestalpine exhibition stand under the slogan "Next-generation steel solutions”, where the focus will be on presenting the world-leading innovation of the alform® welding system and also the extensive manufacturing potential for roll-formed tubes and profiles.

The alform® welding system is a co-ordinated total system of steel and filler metals for high-strength and ultra-high strength welds. The main advantages of the total system are the extended welding areas, crack-resistant weld seams and optimised weld properties.

Individually manufactured tube and profile solutions from the Metal Forming Division will primarily be presented in the context of the demanding applications of cabin and metal formwork construction. High quality sheet pile walls will also be exhibited.
