At the company headquarters in Dessau-Roßlau, Thyrolf & Uhle has been processing metal in all shapes and variations with comprehensive materials expertise since 1859. Around 100 qualified employees currently stand for high quality and expertise in steel and component construction as well as sheet metal processing. Over 12,000 tons of steel can be processed there each year, making Thyrolf & Uhle one of the most efficient specialists of its kind. For the Salzgitter Group, the acquisition of Thyrolf & Uhle now represents an expansion of expertise, as the company has the necessary certifications for processing parts made of safety steels in accordance with TL-2350-0000 as well as the manufacturer qualification in accordance with DIN 2303 Q3 BK.

This will enable the company to serve the growing defence market even better. Thyrolf & Uhle processes security steels in grades Secure 400, 450, 500 and 600, among others, and is also one of the manufacturers of steel components and assemblies for infrastructure protection and for civil and military vehicle construction. The transaction is subject to the fulfillment of the agreed closing conditions, in particular regulatory approvals. The two companies have agreed not to disclose the terms of the takeover.
