Advance notice of the Hannover Messe 2015

Under the lead theme “Integrated Industry – Join the Network”, the most important global industrial trade fair will continue this year to focus on Industry 4.0. From the April 13-17, product innovations and new technologies will be presented in Hannover at all ten leading trade fairs. Salzgitter AG is presenting its materials developments and services in Hall 6 at Stand F02.

The thematic focus at Salzgitter Flachstahl’s stand is on the new materials generation of the xpand steels. They stand for a guaranteed increase in the hole expansion ratio. The special property of xpand qualities is the high formability right into the edge zone. This is particularly useful for the forming of difficult parts with complex geometries. The xpand qualities are available from Salzgitter as hot galvanized thin sheet as well as hot strip. The various exhibits at the stand - which includes a truck cab among other things - reveal the wide range of applications of the SZFG materials portfolio.

In addition, Salzgitter Flachstahl is presenting its brand strategy to trade fair visitors at the Hannover Messe. The new product naming concept under the slogan “Names Sharpen the Image” associates the names of trees with selected highlight brands from Salzgitter Flachstahl. The connection lies in the properties of the material wood, in use for thousands of years, as reflected in the material steel. To represent this, a steel tree is on display at the fair. In addition, the corporate abbreviation “Sal” will make the highlight brands from Salzgitter instantly recognizable in future. Numerous application examples help to illustrate the connection between the new names and the properties of the material.

On Tuesday, April 14 at 3 p.m., the Salzgitter AG is again hosting this year’s "Stahltag". At the meeting with the steel industry in Pavilion P32, current trends and developments will be discussed.

The “job and career” area in Hall 17 is where you will find Salzgitter AG’s career stand B63. Here you can obtain information on apprenticeships, entry and employment possibilities at Salzgitter AG and its subsidiaries. Schools can use Tec2you for planning their visits to the fair in coordination with Salzgitter AG as a corporate partner.

The Salzgitter Group is looking forward to presenting current developments and solution concepts during the five days of the Hannover Messe.
