We have made a significant investment in the modernization of our Swiss Steel-Finkl production facility in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, Canada.
The modernization includes replacing the current 5,000-ton press with a state-of-the-art 6,700-ton press.
We have also made the transition from a natural gas-powered forging furnace to an energy-efficient electric furnace.
These innovations will enhance productivity, improve product quality, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
“We are committed to being a world leader in forged Toolsteel by continuously improving our quality, productivity, and capacity,” said Frank Koch CEO of SSG.
“This project is a critical step in securing our operations in Quebec for the future while also contributing to global decarbonization efforts.”
The 6,700-ton press not only increases processing capabilities but also reduces material waste thanks to its precision.
The shift to an electric furnace is a critical move toward decarbonization, helping both our customers and us meet ambitious climate goals.
We carry over 300-tons of Toolsteel here in the UK, along with stock at our German production site Deutsche Edelstshlwerke (DEW).
