The crane and lifting industry serves a wide variety of customers with very different applications. From mobile and crawler cranes in private and civil construction to cranes for the offshore wind industry. From timber cranes to concrete pumps. Most of them face the same challenges: They have to continuously achieve higher loads more broadly, reliably and safely. At the same time, there is a trend towards reducing the weight of the cranes, especially in mobile crane and lifting solutions.

As a logical consequence, there is a very large number of base materials that need to be welded with high productivity, always ensuring perfect joint quality. The increasing use of fine-grained, high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel (yield strength up to 1100 MPa) requires welding consumables that match these mechanical characteristics along with extensive metallurgical experience and know-how.  As part of a steel technology group, we have an excellent understanding of the challenges and are able to provide support across the globe.
