Announcing Euroblech 2018

The 25th International Sheet Metalworking Technology Exhibition opens its doors in Hanover from October 23 to 26, 2018. The theme of EuroBLECH 2018, “Keeping pace with digitization", reflects the current digital transformation affecting industrial production. Industry 4.0, smart factories and increasing automation are at this very moment compelling companies to make fundamental investment decisions to upgrade and adapt their production technologies. As a global barometer of industrial trends in the sheet metalworking sector, the exhibition presents a comprehensive spectrum of customized systems designed to modernize production processes and safeguard competitiveness. Salzgitter Flachstahl will be there too along with its fellow Group member companies on Stand D78 in Halle 17.

This year Salzgitter Flachstahl will be presenting its “special steels logistics”. Special steels, also known at Salzgitter Flachstahl as index grades, as a result of their high alloy content have a tendency if allowed to cool too quickly after continuous casting to develop stress cracks. To counter this, a combination of heat boxes and sophisticated logistics has been developed to keep the slabs warm. As a particular highlight, with the aid of virtual reality glasses visitors to the exhibition can take an interactive tour of two slab heater boxes.

A terminal will also be available via which visitors can view details of the product range and variety of applications for the special steels produced by Salzgitter Flachstahl.

We at Salzgitter Flachstahl look forward over the four days of the exhibition to introducing you to these and other current developments and solutions, and we eagerly anticipate plenty of stimulating discussions with customers and partners, both actual and potential.

Sales staff and technical consultants from Salzgitter Flachstahl will be available on every day of the exhibition. This team will be supported by colleagues from our research company Salzgitter Mannesmann Forschung. You can view the exact staffing schedule at messenavigator.salzgitter-ag.com.

We look forward to your visit!
