The company operates a vertically integrated model with exposure to specialty steel, tubes, and technology segments, positioning it to capture value across steel value chains. It serves diverse industries including food and beverage, vehicle manufacturing, and construction sectors.
Cyborg Score Rationale
For 2026, the company anticipates sales of around €9.5 billion, EBITDA between €500-600 million, and pre-tax results between €75-175 million. The guidance reflects cyclicality in steel markets with moderate profitability expectations. Market position is strong but challenged by volatile commodity steel pricing and energy costs.
