Our low CO₂ footprint and firm commitment to become CO₂ neutral by 2045 ensures you produce using sustainable steel
Our supply solutions ensure you have your material when you need it
Our technical team is there to support you in optimizing your production
Our team can help you to incorporate the best steel solutions into your current and future vehicle designs.

Bringing you benefits

Understanding your issues and challenges

We understand that the choice and application of steel has a big impact on fuel efficiency and vehicle performance.

We offer predictable steel quality for efficient processing. We responds fast and through our local partners we make sure to deliver on time. It's vital that you can start with the right ingredients:

For fast laser cutting and precise bending operations you want a highly consistent quality with the right steel chemistry, surface appearance and tight dimensional tolerances
For any production challenges our team understands your technical needs and processing requirements. We offer decades of co-design experience and continue to use our wide knowledge base and expertise to develop products and services to meet your needs
We offer reliable delivery and a pro-active customer service team to plan your next on time delivery so you maintain continuous production
To ensure a sustainable future our products are produced at efficient steel sites, minimizing emissions to produce and transport material.

These ingredients give you the opportunity to optimize your operations, strengthen your customer base, expand your product range, target new and demanding market segments – and ultimately grow your business.

Soil preparation and harvesting

For long-lasting performance

Agricultural boron manganese steels for soil cultivation tools, including our 22MnB5 to 38MnB5 range, are available with a varying range of carbon content. Our experts will gladly support you, looking at the chemistry required and heat treatment process so we can offer the right solution that matches the hardness level needed for the job. We can tailor chemistries to match your requirements.

For wear parts our Valast^® wear resistant steel offers the extended wear protection that your machines need.

Agricultural components

For strong and resilient machines

Ympress is ideal for agricultural chassis. Available in grades from S355MC to S960MC, Ympress is highly formable and delivers weight savings and increased component strength. Tata Steel's Hybox^® TT (355-700 MH) tubes with tight tolerances go beyond the European standard EN 10219 and offer half the dimensional tolerances to enable trouble-free, automated production.

Ympress and Hybox TT offer a consistent, ready-to-paint surface finish without the need to shot blast, saving time and money.

Barns, silos, fences and more

Our corrosion resistant solutions

Silo builders often choose MagiZinc 310 or a galvanized Z600 coating to withstand tough environments.

Further, for wine poles, fences or other profiled parts, MagiZinc offers the corrosion protection that you expect in these demanding applications.

Product range

Our product solutions

We offer a wide range of hot-rolled, tubular and galvanized steels for your agricultural vehicles and buildings. Our products are developed to ensure you can focus on your business, while your machines operate reliably based on our steels and your farm buildings last decades.

Our high strength Ympress, Hybox TT and our high-performance XPF^® products deliver the stiffness, strength, formability and weldability needed for reliable performance and cost-effective processing.

Your machines and spare parts withstand heavy wear and tear with our boron manganese and Valast wear resistant steels. While our MagiZinc, heavy coat Z600 endure all tough climate conditions.

Our material experts are there to support the deployment of our products in your specific application area. For more information contact our experts.
