Group

Klöckner & Co is one of the largest producer-independent distributors of steel and metal products and one of the world’s leading steel service center companies. We act as a connecting link between steel producers and consumers. As we are not affiliated with any particular steel producer, our customers benefit from our wide range of national and international sourcing options spanning some 40 main suppliers worldwide. Our key competitive advantages include economies of scale in global procurement, our broad product portfolio and customer access via an extensive sales and distribution network, in addition to a very wide range of processing services. Klöckner & Co plans to further expand its processing portfolio in order to benefit from the higher-margin processing business and from being significantly less dependent on steel price trends. With a focus on the “DACH” region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and North America, our global network provides customers with local access to some 120 distribution and service locations. The high level of availability of our roughly 165,000 products largely eliminates the need for our customers to hold inventory. Our customer base comprises more than 60,000 mostly small to medium-sized steel and metal consumers, primarily from the construction industry, machinery and mechanical engineering, the transportation industry and other metalworking companies.
