Innovation rarely follows a straight line: Out of many innovative ideas, only the best ones will finally result into a new product. But our R&D teams push progress forward every single day.

Below are some of our most recent R&D achievements:

Dramix® Loop™

Dramix® Loop™ builds on 50 years of Dramix® performance, raising the sustainability benchmark for steel fiber reinforcement.

Dramix® solutions already cut concrete use, steel consumption, and CO₂ emissions but Dramix® Loop™ goes further by using high-grade steel recovered from end-of-life tire cords.

Recycled steel

The global steel industry is shifting toward more sustainability by increasing the use of Electric Arc Furnaces. This technology makes it easier to process higher quantities of recycled steel and significantly reduces CO₂.

As the use of recycled content in our wire rod raw material increases, we swiftly adapt our processes to safeguard final product quality.
