Sustainable materials, strong products

Steel is 100 % recyclable and extremely durable – a material that combines sustainability and performance. As a specialist for the processing of high-strength and wear-resistant metal sheets we specifically select our materials to fulfil our customers' requirements in the best possible way.

For high-strength grades, we process steels with strength values of up to 1,300 MPa, whilst our wear plates reach up to HB 500. Our warehouse stock of approx. 10,000 tons allows us to efficiently design production processes and minimise transportation.   

High-strength steel enables lighter and more efficient designs – ideal for machines that achieve longer ranges and consume less energy. Wear-resistant metal sheets extend the service life of components and reduce the use of materials.

Through innovative solutions, we continuously aim to reduce our ecological footprint and promote sustainable products. We source our materials specifically from Europe.

Together towards a sustainable future

Sustainability is more than just a word for Ferro – it is a promise. With our new photovoltaic system, we have made an important step in taking responsibility for our environment whilst simultaneously making our production more efficient and more environmentally friendly.  

Since end of September 2022, the system with a performance of almost 750 kWp annually generates up to 800,000 kWh solar energy. This equals the requirements of approx. 200 to 270 households. The power is directly fed into our production process and covers a large part of our energy needs 

This investment enables us to combine progress with responsibility – for our customers, our employees and a sustainable future.

Innovative and efficient technology

At Ferro, we focus on the latest technologies and innovative machinery to ensure a continuous improvement of our production process. 

The use of automated systems such as conveyors for the internal logistics process ensure that the metal sheets virtually “float” through the manufacturing process. 

Our automated bending press with a length of up to 12,500 mm, providing a press force of 1,600 tons not only increases productivity but also allows more precise and reproducible results.

Furthermore, we replaced our CO2 lasers with modern fibre lasers in order to optimise the use of resources and reduce energy consumption. 

This holistic approach with regard to new machinery and optimised production processes increases efficiency and supports our commitment to sustainable solutions. 

Achieving more together

Sport stands for team spirit, perseverance and passion – values that play a key role at Ferro. This is why we are actively involved in local sports clubs and support our own employees. Our sponsorship not only promotes young talent but also strengthens cohesion within our community. For us, acting sustainably means more than just environmental awareness - it also means taking responsibility for people and social projects.
