Inbetriebnahme der neuen Induktions-Wärmebehandlungslinie im Plan
Die Inbetriebnahme der neuen Induktions-Wärmebehandlungslinie für Stabstahl läuft planmäßig - ein weiterer Baustein auf dem Weg zu weniger CO2-Emissionen.
Stainless steels, tool steels as well as nickel and special alloys made in Germany, with diameters from less than a tenth of a millimetre to over a metre - that is our speciality!
For more than 560 years, tradition, innovation, flexibility and customer proximity have been the basis of our production and satisfied customers.
In 2022, we joined Science Based Targets and have committed us to a scientifically based climate target to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 42% until 2030. We also comitted to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25 % within the same timeframe.
In the long term, we are aiming to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 88% by 2040 (compared to 2021) and achieve net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045.
In this way, we are consistently pursuing our annual energy savings targets, which were first set in 2012.
Thanks to a high investment rate, BGH has one of the most modern plant structures in the world. Innovations such as fully automated ultrasonic testing facilities for bar steel up to 1 000 mm in diameter or induction heat treatment lines are just a few examples.
With our fully integrated production process - from the melt to the finished wire, bar or open-die forging - we guarantee product quality for the highest demands.
Whether corrosion-, heat- or wear-resistant: Our range of stainless steels and special alloys enables advanced developments in areas such as the sustainable generation of energy from wind and water, mobility, engineering, medical or environmental technology and stands for quality and reliability.
Our service centres offer a broad bar stock range of more than 70 materials, with fast service, worldwide availability and solutions even for your complex procurement tasks.
All our sites are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001. In addition, we meet extensive industry and customer approvals and hold other site-specific certificates such as IATF 16949, EN/AS 9100 or ISO 17025.

BGH Edelstahl stands for ‘Made in Germany’ – our stainless steels and special alloys are melted in Germany. This also applies to the production of our wire, bar and forged products, with the exception of rolled flat and square bars, which are manufactured at BGH Polska in Katowice.
By using over 80 % scrap steel as recycled material, our products have a particularly low carbon footprint compared to the traditional blast furnace process. In this way, we combine the highest metallurgical quality with responsible, resource-efficient production.
Quality at source: Melting in Germany ensures material purity, homogeneity and consistent properties.
Standardised process standards and consistency across sites: Most of the further processing takes place in Germany – in accordance with strict standards, documented quality assurance and high process stability. The rolling mill in Katowice operates in accordance with BGH specifications and quality standards, ensuring that customers worldwide receive consistent material quality.
Reliable supply chains: European production means short transport distances, predictable supply and high delivery reliability.
Sustainability & Responsibility: We produce in accordance with German environmental and occupational health and safety standards. Steel production using at least 80 % scrap steel in our electric arc furnaces ensures that the carbon footprint footprint of our products is more than 1.35 t lower than that of the traditional blast furnace process.
Are cracks causing your forging tools to fail? Does your extrusion or die-casting process require the same toughness as ESR grades, but are they too expensive? Is the service life of your cutting tools too short and are powder metallurgy (PM) steels not a viable alternative? Is the machinability of your current tool steel inadequate??
Then our premium tool steels from the BGH ONE range are the perfect choice! Thanks to optimised alloy formulations, our products surpass the properties of standard materials, offering you a cost-effective alternative to expensive ESR and PM steels.
