Sectors

Thanks to its mechanical and structural properties, its high availability and its sustainability as it is 100% recyclable, steel has become an essential material for our society, used in a wide variety of sectors.

Currently, more than 50% of Global Steel’s steel is destined for the automotive sector, a sector that demands superior quality of its products. Excellence in service and continuous improvement of processes are essential to guarantee the manufacture of safer, lighter and cleaner vehicles that meet the increasingly strict limits of local and international regulations. Global Steel Wire’s steel is used in numerous applications within the automotive sector, such as torsion bars, ball joints, springs, shock absorbers, tire reinforcement or the production of hardware for safety, steering or powertrain systems. Being the most vertically integrated group in Europe, the Global Steel Wire Group offers, through its wire drawing plants, tailored solutions and services for automotive component manufacturers.

Additionally, there are more and more applications with high-performance steel necessary for the transition towards the sustainable mobility sector. High-end wire rod is increasingly relevant within the railway, maritime, energy generation and transportation sectors, as well as their related infrastructure and applications.
