Metal production and processing

You can find steel and metals from us all over the Czech Republic and the world. The metallurgy, foundry and related heavy engineering industries have significantly influenced the local economy. In the context of innovation and new business opportunities, it is crucial that global demand for metals (including steel) will continue to grow alongside a rising world population and the drive by many countries to bring their levels of prosperity closer to those of developed economies. With this growth comes a greater demand for the know-how to produce and process metals in new, cost-effective and environmentally friendly ways. This specialisation is closely linked to the global trend from a linear to a circular economy. Steel, as a key material of modern civilisation, offers not only a necessity for today’s industry but also significant opportunities for the development of the circular economy. A major challenge for the future is the decarbonisation of production processes.
