Swiss Steel Holding AG engages in the production and distribution of steel long products and special steels. It operates through the following segments: Engineering Steel, Stainless Steel, and Tool Steel. The Engineering Steel segment satisfies the demand for special long steel wherever high mechanical loads are present and reliable, long-term use of components must be guaranteed. The Stainless Steel segment offers materials for applications where high resistance to corrosion or acid and high thermal loads are a necessity. The Tool Steel segment provides solutions focused on economic machinability, high wear resistance and good thermal conductivity. The company was founded by Arthur Schmolz and Oswald Bickenbach in 1919 and is headquartered in Lucerne, Switzerland.
