Embracing the concept of sustainability means demonstrating responsibility for our stakeholders.

- For our employees, we aim to offer reliable employment, fair working conditions, and a safe work environment.
- For our customers, we are responsible for the quality of our products and services, meeting requirements for alloy type, chemistry, quantity, and time of delivery.
