Welcome to stahl-online, the Web Presentation of the Stahl-Zentrum.
Since 1998, the Steel Institute VDEh, the German Steel Federation, and other organisations and institutes of the steel industry have operated under the umbrella of the Stahl-Zentrum. They consolidate their tasks as legally autonomous organisations within the Stahl-Zentrum with the aim of being able to more effectively represent the steel industry in politics, business and society The Stahl-Zentrum:
- helps member organisations through targeted marketing in national and international competition,
- represents their interests in German and European steel policy,
- supports the further development of steel technology through the expansion of joint technical and scientific work,
- promotes a better image for the material steel, and
- informs the general public about current developments in the steel industry.
Find out more about "The Steel Industry in Germany" in a brochure. The headquarters of the Stahl-Zentrum are located in Düsseldorf. You will find a route description here.
Increase of efficiency in steel making
The steel industry in Germany and Europe has achieved a high level of raw materials and energy efficiency as a result of plant and process related further developments and optimisations. This is also linked with environmental protection and the reduction of CO2 emissions to an extent that a few years ago was hardly believed possible.
Broschure"Path to increase efficiency in the steel industry"
The Steel Institute VDEh organizes with respect to this topic on occasion of the metallurgical trade fair METEC from 27 June to 1 July 2011 in Düsseldorf the "1st International Conference on Energy Efficiency and CO2 Reduction in the Steel Industry".
The Steel Institute VDEh organizes the METEC InSteelCon® 2011 conferences and congresses
600 high quality presentations from experts of the international steel industry, the plant manufacturers and the research are expected by the participants at METEC InSteelCon® 2011 , which takes place from 27th June to 1st July in Düsseldorf. With the organization of the METEC InSteelCon® 2011 experts conference, which will accompany the leading international metallurgy trade fair METEC 2011, the Steel Institute VDEh identifies the industry's needs.
