Becoming part of the SSAB family means embarking on a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the planet's future and sustainability. Steel has been one of the most important materials for our societal development and will continue to be so in the future. In our homes, in bridges that connect our cities, and in tomorrow's cars. At SSAB, we are proud of our history and our leadership in high-strength steel.

As part of SSAB, you will be important in realizing this goal and thus contributing to a green transition of the entire steel industry.
