Benteler’s electric steel mill in Lingen, Germany, has produced 25 million tonnes of steel since it began operating in 1974. The Austrian company’s plant uses recycled steel scrap and has been in operation for more than five decades.
About 280 people work at the facility. Steel made in Lingen is later processed into high-quality tubes at other Benteler Steel/Tube plants. In-house steel production gives the company control over key stages of its value chain and allows it to tailor material properties to the requirements of its tube products.
Thomas Michels, COO of Benteler Steel/Tube, said the mill plays an important role in the company’s integrated production structure. He said electric steelmaking and the use of scrap provide a basis for further reducing the carbon footprint of Benteler products.
