German special steel producer GMH Gruppe has announced that it has consolidated its subsidiaries Kind &Co., Schmiedewerke Groditz and Buderus Edelstahl into a single Open-Die Forging Group, as part of itsbroader transformation strategy. The company will invest around e30 million to support the integration andfurther develop its industrial capabilities.
Consolidation under a single industrial structure
The integration brings the three companies together undera unified structure focused on coordinated productionplanning, metallurgy, logistics and sales. GMH Gruppeexpects efficiency gains through joint capacitymanagement, aligned processes and the reduction ofinterfaces across the businesses.
According to the company, the move is designed tostrengthen its position in Europe''s tool steel and open-die forging markets.
Within the Open-Die Forging Group, each company will retain a clearly defined industrial focus:
Kind & Co. wll concentrate on hot-work, premium and remelted tool steels for technically demandingapplications.
Schmiedewerke Groditz will focus on open-die forgings, rolled rings, engineering steels and engineeredforged components, including products for plastic moulding, as well as stainless steels.Buderus Edelstahl will operate as a full-service tool steel provider for large components, plastic mouldingtool holders and die bolsters
Annual output across the integrated portfolio exceeds 100,000 mt. GMH Gruppe said this diferentiation allows itto address a wide range of customer requirements with standard, performance-optimized and premiumsolutions, supporting operational efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership.
The integration responds to rising demand for reliable European sourcing in sectors such as automotive,mechanical engineering and die-casting. Combined inventories across Germany, Italy, China and the US areintended to improve material availability and mitigate supply-chain volatility.
� 30m investment program
The planned � 30 million investment will support the integration and modernization of the Open-Die ForgingGroup, including installation of a new ladle car at Schmiedewerke Groditz to increase output and steel purity; anew hardening furnace in Bielstein for large structural components, expanding vacuum-hardening capacity;relocation of energy-efficient forging furnaces from Wetzlar to Groditz, reducing gas consumption and carbonemissions; and additional modernization measures across the group.
