In 2012 we invested $285 million in research and development. We believe innovation will drive our future success, and support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals. We have 11 research centres in seven countries and about 1,300 researchers working in active collaboration with our customers and academics at leading universities specialising in fields of metallurgy, metal-forming, and steel construction.
We are always looking for new and innovative applications for steel. Through our network of research centres, and product development and engineering teams, we develop new steel products which meet the modern world’s demands for cost effective, lightweight, high-quality, environmentally-friendly materials. Much of this work is carried out in partnership with customers and research organisations, in a process that involves them at every stage of the development cycle – from idea to production.
