Schmolz + Bickenbach Specialty Steel

Schmolz + Bickenbach, now rebranded globally as Swiss Steel Group, is a prominent producer of specialty long steel. The brand has deep historical roots in Germany, specifically in Krefeld, where it was established as a major steel trading and production hub. Over the decades, the company expanded through strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of several European and American steel mills, solidifying its position in the high-grade steel market.

In recent years, the company underwent significant financial restructuring and a full rebranding to Swiss Steel Group to reflect its consolidated identity. While the Krefeld location remains a vital site for high-performance and stainless steel production, the ultimate ownership is headquartered in Switzerland. The company serves various critical industries, including automotive, aerospace, and mechanical engineering, operating production facilities and distribution centers across several continents.
