Stegra will supply significant non-prime steel tonnages to thyssenkrupp Materials Services, Kallanish learns from the Germany-based distribution group. Its business unit thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe has signed a multi-year agreement with the Swedish greenfield steelmaker.

Due to the nature of steel production, steel mills produce a certain amount of non-prime steel. This is material that does not meet the highest quality standards that certain applications may require, but is still a strong and durable material eligible for various uses. As a result, non-prime steel makes up a relevant portion of the steel market in Europe, tk Materials explains.

“A partner for non-prime steel is important for the ramp-up of our steel mill and we see this as the start of a long-term partnership with thyssenkrupp Materials Services as a key player in the market,” says Stephan Flapper, commercial head at Stegra.

Although Stegra’s future steel plant in Boden will use only hydrogen and renewable electricity, the non-prime steel purchased by tk Materials will not be considered to be CO2-reduced, the buyer group notes.

First deliveries are expected to start in 2027. The total tonnage of the agreement will be in the high-six-digit range. “At thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe, we have the customer base, the logistics capabilities and the processing network to handle these large amounts of steel,” says Heather Wijdekop, chief executive of the unit. It plans to supply customers in various industries across Europe.
