Expedition – the base 

Dear Readers, 

2006 was a good year for us, in particular as a 

result of your loyalty and your confidence in our 

services. In 2007 we have continued to put every 

effort into justifying this confidence. For example, 

we have invested in synergies on our transport 

routes in order to be able to offer you even better 

logistical solutions. Furthermore, we have intensified 

our activities in the field of ABRAService in 

order to provide our customers with the advantages 

of high-strength and wear-resistant steels 

and opportunities for in-depth processing. 

Moreover we have extended our “... nature of steel” 

by the field of quality and highgrade construction 

steels. As a result of the strategically important 

acquisition of the traditional company Hoselmann 

Stahl, Handel und Anarbeitung in Hanover we are 

now able to offer you a wide variety of special 

construction steels. Since August 2006 Hoselmann 

has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Stappert 

Group, although it will continue to trade under its 

own name.

Stappert and Hoselmann to 

join forces 

EXPEDITION: Mr Kolz, at the end 

of the negotiations on the start of a 

joint future between Stappert and 

Hoselmann it only remained for the 

signatures to be applied to the 

document – the end of a troublefree 

purchase? 

Peter Kolz: The complete takeover 

of Hoselmann Stahl GmbH by 

Stappert Spezial-Stahl Handel 

GmbH did indeed go off very harmoniously, 

as the traditional company 

fits exceptionally well into 

our corporate philosophy with its 

products, services and – last but 

not least – the people who work 

here. Two suppliers of special 

steels have joined forces here in a 

meaningful way. Hoselmann Stahl 

GmbH is well-known among industry 

experts – and has been for 

generations, as the Hanoverians 

Almost 80 years' experience, around 60 employees and a turnover of more than €60 million. 

Hoselmann Stahl GmbH, Handel und Anarbeitung, Hanover's traditional and profitable company, 

becomes a wholly-owned Stappert subsidiary. EXPEDITION spoke to Peter Kolz, one of the two 

Managing Directors, in conjunction with the formal contract-signing ceremony in Frankfurt am 

Main. 

have been trading successfully for 

around eight decades on the European 

market for quality and highgrade 

construction steels, as well 

as high-temperature steels. 

EXPEDITION: Was the product 

range the decisive argument for 

the acquisition of Hoselmann? 

Peter Kolz: It was a significant 

factor in our decision, but there 

were many arguments, not only 

the fact that the two medium-sized 

companies have been working together 

for several years: Hoselmann 

has always been a good customer 

of Stappert and the two companies 

have served the same customers 

in many cases with different 

products. From the product portfolio, 

through the distribution of 

their various sites to the highly 

motivated another perfectly. In 

addition, we have comparable corporate 

structures. With this takeover 

we are not only gaining access 

to a new market, but are creating 

the opportunity for both special 

suppliers to react even more flexibly 

to customer requirements in 

the future with an expanded product 

range. And there will also be 

considerable synergies within the 

IMS Group. With its 60 employees 

Hoselmann will continue to concentrate 

on the European market 

for quality and high-grade construction 

steels and high-temperature 

steels and expand its good 

customer contacts through the 

IMS Organisation in Southern and 

Eastern Europe – while Stappert 

with its subsidiaries and around 

685 employees throughout Europe 

will press ahead with their range of 

Hoselmann Stahl GmbH – Facts: 

� Core business: trading and preprocessing 

in the field of quality 

and high-grade construction 

steels and high-temperature 

steels for customers working in 

shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, 

power engineering, 

vehicle construction, the processing 

industry etc. 

� Preprocessing in the field of 

flame cutting for customers 

working in the shipbuilding, 

wind energy and vehicle construction 

industries, as well as 

general mechanical engineering 

services in the field of stainless, 

high-strength and wear-resistant 

steels. 

EXPEDITION: What effects will 

the new contract have on the 

various sites? 

Peter Kolz: Hoselmann will remain 

an autonomous company, also in 

terms of location. Of course the two 

warehouse and pre-processing 

sites in Hanover with their approximately 

12,000 square metres of 

floor space will remain in the 

future, as will the administration 

department of Hoselmann Stahl 

GmbH. The sites are not only 

secured, but also well-equipped, 

with pre-processing offering not 

only CNC-controlled sawing, deep 

hole drilling, rough turning and 

honing. In order to meet customer

manner the company from Hanover 

will also remain a paragon of 

reliability in the future due to its 

excellent sources of supply, flexible 

preprocessing and dependable 

logistics.

autonomous will the traditional 

company from Hanover remain 

Peter Kolz: As a specialist for 

quality and high-grade construction 

steels and high-temperature steels 

Hoselmann will – as all subsidiaries 

of Stappert – continue to act autonomously, 

will remain legally independent 

and will expand its business 

on its own responsibility. My 

fellow Managing Director Michael 

Duckwitz and I are jointly responsible 

for this. Gunter Frühling, who 

together with Mr Duckwitz was a 

long-serving managing partner at 

Hoselmann, retired from the company 

as of September 30, 2006 at 

the age of 69 at his own request. 

Mr Frühling will of course retain his 

Growth 

“made in Austria” 

The Stappert subsidiary Fleischmann in Austria is one of the leading high-grade steel traders in 

the country. Moreover, the company supplies large quantities of its steel products to Eastern 

Europe. At least two good reasons to present the company to you once again in more detail here. 

45 tonnes of steel are moved every day at Fleischmann 

– by 14 male and female employees in two shifts. These 

form part of the total staff of 50 at the newly set up 

company headquarter in the Lower Austrian town of 

Teesdorf. Together with their five colleagues working in 

the sales office in Haid they are also pleased with the 

successful track record of the company: In the meantime 

the total quantity of goods handled has risen to 

around 9,000 tonnes a year. These are supplied by 

Fleischmann not only to the domestic market of Austria, 

but also to Croatia and Slovenia, as well as the affiliate 

companies in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. 

Broad stock programme 

As a full-service provider, Fleischmann provides a 

complete range of products. In the new, modern warehouse 

in Teesdorf the company keeps stocks not only 

of stainless steels, but also heat-resistant and highly 

corrosion-resistant steels. Thanks to its three powerful 

Peter Kolz is looking forward to a 

successful joint future ... 

friendship with and interest in the 

company. Both Stappert and Hoselmann 

are looking forward to the 

collaboration of the two businesses 

and the cooperation of the people 

working there. For it was not least 

the personal and human component 

... with Michael Duckwitz and the 

Hoselmann-Team. 

saws and its direct access to a grinding centre the 

company is able to offer standard ground steels and 

many types of special productions. The product range 

is complemented by the new field of ABRAService, 

which expands the existing stock programme by highstrength 

and wear-resistant materials. 

Feeling of responsibility 

that played a central role in the two 

successful companies coming 

together and forming an excellent 

basis for their joint success. 

EXPEDITION: Thank you very 

much Mr Kolz for this interview. 

Established in 1947 as Fleischmann-Stahlhandel GmbH, 

the company has now been working successfully in 

the steel business for almost 60 years. In 1987 it became 

part of the international IMS Holding and is therefore 

able to profit from a network of 19 companies 

in 14 European countries. All aspects of quality take 

top priority: the company sets itself the objective of 

manufacturing top products and providing perfect 

customer service – to guarantee continuing success 

in the future!


Worldwide contacts 

In 2006 exhibitors and visitors from home and abroad again travelled to the TUBE trade fair in 

Düsseldorf. The leading trade fair for the tube and tube-processing industry opens its doors to 

the exhibition halls every two years. Once again Stappert took advantage of the world's largest 

industry forum to present itself and its products. 

With 28,600 guests it was not only the TUBE trade fair 

itself that boasted an increase in the number of visitors 

by 7.5% in comparison to the last fair: the Stappert 

stand was also a “hive of activity”, with a large number 

of highly interested industry specialists catching up on 

the Stappert product range, services, export opportunities 

and the network of the IMS Group from April 24- 

28, 2006. Visitors to the stand came from various industries, 

such as commerce, mechanical engineering, 

the pharmaceutical industry and many more. 

Visitors from 40 countries 

The high ratio of international visitors to the Tube trade 

fair is also reflected in the visitors to the Stappert 

stand, with the customer advisers welcoming trade fair 

guests from a total of 40 different countries, including 

Booming country, 

booming trade fair 

As an up-and-coming Chinese metropolis 

with approximately 20 million 

inhabitants, Shanghai presents 

itself to the visitor as a city of great 

contrasts – with its modern “face” 

with the skyline and Transrapid on 

the one hand, and the “traditions” in 

the historic city centre on the other. 

Compared to the first trade fair in 

China, South Africa and New Zealand. Besides visitors 

from Germany, the largest number of guests came 

from Turkey, Spain and India. As well as holding concrete 

discussions with the Stappert team, visitors were 

able to establish contacts with the employees of the 

Stappert subsidiaries – who were also invited together 

with their customers – at the stand party, which was 

held for the first time this year. This was an ideal forum 

for maintaining existing business relationships and 

forming new ones. Also the offer to visit the new stainless 

steel warehouse in Bönen was gratefully accepted 

by the customers and met with a high level of approval, 

as did the entire Stappert trade fair presentation. It 

goes without saying that Stappert will again be welcoming 

their customers again to the “,,... nature of steel” 

at TUBE 2008. 

Although wire & Tube China 2006 was only held for the second time, it has already developed 

into a leading industrial trade fair for the whole of Asia. And so two members of the Stappert 

Spezial-Stahl Handel export department again travelled to the effervescent city of Shanghai in 

2006 to present the “... nature of steel” there from September 25-28. 

2004, the exhibition space at the 

Shanghai New International Expo 

Center was increased by 14,000 m2 in order to provide room for a total 

of 923 exhibitors from 32 countries. 

At their stand the members of the 

export department welcomed numerous 

international visitors, many 

of whom were not yet acquainted 

with the special materials produced 

by Stappert, which the Stappert 

employees were pleased to provide 

detailed information on. Even 

greater interest – particularly among 

potential new customers – was 

generated by the exhibits of various 

designs and descriptions that were 

presented at the stand.

Reschke Schweißtechnik GmbH – a portrait 

6 


When the sparks 

fly at night 

“... nothing is impossible” is the relatively new slogan of this unusual company from the Main 

Valley near Frankfurt, which has developed from a small metalworking shop into a renowned 

brand in the construction machine industry. Managing Director Silvia Reschke puts it in a nut- 

shell, “We make whatever the others don't dare to attempt”. 

The individuality of the products takes top priority at 

Reschke. Around 5,000 excavator buckets, scoops 

and special components for earthmoving equipment 

were produced by Reschke last year. Whether these 

are all-purpose backhoes or light material buckets, 

demolition or side dump buckets, excavator sticks or 

root crop blades – the products always have to be 

tailor-made to the specific requirements of the customer. 

“We often create solutions that are actually 

worthy of a patent,” says Silvia Reschke when describing 

the services provided by her staff of 50. This also 

includes a fair share of the corporate philosophy, because 

here it is not mass-produced articles that are 

required, but that special out-of-the-ordinary item. 

And a significant role in this is played by chief designer 

Uwe Rehor, who has worked for Reschke since 1994. 

It is his task to think of something new time and again 

in order to be able to offer customers the ideal technical 

solution for their specific requirements. He then 

compiles the engineering drawing, which is the master 

design for production of the specially-manufactured 

buckets, scoops or accessories. “Of course these are 

often only small changes that have to be made to the 

standard product. But sometimes it is also a bit more 

tricky, with the result that in the past few years we have 

created a few unique items,” explains Uwe Rehor. 

Over 20 years' experience 

The construction of excavator buckets has a tradition 

going back more than 20 years at Reschke. As long 

ago as the early 1980s the founder of the company, 

Bernd Reschke, tried his hand at producing these 

heavy components. While welding work was only 

contracted out by Reschke in 1981, just two years 

later the first buckets were produced under the com- 

pany's own brand name. The customer was the 

Zeppelin trading company, which still remains one of 

the largest customers of Reschke GmbH today. In 

1990 a new age dawned not only for Germany, but 

also for Reschke. The company was reorganised, the 

production area doubled in size, new machines purchased, 

additional employees recruited and the twoshift 

system introduced. In 1991 the production of 

scoops was begun in addition to the buckets. The 

demand for Reschke's quality products was so great 

that in 1993 a co-operation was started with the firm 

LRT GmbH in Tharandt near Dresden in order to take 

advantage of higher production capacities. The company 

from Saxony has many years' experience of locomotive 

construction and was soon able to adapt to the 

requirements of the construction machine industry. 

Welding at night 

At peak periods production at Reschke goes on roundthe-clock. 

And in consideration of the neighbours any 

hammering that is required is carried out during the 

day, and the welding at night. Thanks to this system it

has been possible in the past to carry out many “special 

orders” to the full satisfaction of the customers – 

whether this involved 80 excavator buckets within 3 

weeks or the production of a standard bucket according 

to customer specifications, including an adapter 

plate and hydraulic device, within 24 hours. Of course 

it is important in such cases for Reschke's suppliers 

to play their part. An example of this the ABRAService 

of Stappert, which guarantees the reliable supply of 

wear-resistant and high-strength steels – no matter 

how short the notice. 

Large components for big 

All of Reschke's customers are dealers who sell Reschke 

products to renowned manufacturers of earthmoving 

equipment: from Volvo to Mitsubishi, from 

Caterpillar to Komatsu, from Liebherr to Hitachi. They 

all trust the high quality and individuality of Reschke 

products. And the larger the machine for which a 

Reschke component is required, the more Reschke's 

designers enjoy their work. “It really becomes great fun 

with machines weighing 20 tonnes and up,” explains 

Uwe Rehor, who within the framework of design and 

production planning is happy to resort to the in-depth 

production opportunities offered by the ABRAService. 

Training Instead of Job Cuts 

Silvia Reschke also uses unusual methods in the 

organisation of her own company. While others “outsource”, 

she puts her faith in the strength of the company's 

own employees. Education and training are a 

major priority in order to attract high-quality 

employees or further the skills of the existing ones. 

Many have been working for the company for more 

than 10 years. “We have a healthy mixture of experienced 

and young employees, which in my opinion is 

the key to success,” says Silvia Reschke. We are currently 

searching for additional qualified employees in 

order to strengthen our design and production departments. 


Plans and visions 

Business is booming both at home and abroad. Today 

approximately 30% of the goods produced at the works 

in Hesse are sent all over the world. Russia in particular 

promises a high growth potential in the future. For this 

reason it has already been decided to continue expansion 

of the production areas in 2008. “After that I would 

like to set up a kind of research and development department 

which cooperates with the technical universities 

and which can therefore offer our customers 

genuine innovations,” Silvia Reschke goes on, explaining 

her vision for the future. And anyone who sees 

how the eyes of this dynamic Managing Director light 

up as she says it does not doubt for one second that 

she will achieve her ambitious target.

“Now speak Swabian to me!” 

That good salesmen have to be capable of more than simply knowing their goods like the back 

of their hand becomes apparent almost every day at the Stappert sales office in Ulm. Anyone 

wishing to successfully sell their products here has to do the same as Martin Luther and “speak 

to the people in their own language” ... 

“Hend-Se nedd noh äbbes anderschts?” 

Anyone born in Swabia 

will immediately answer this question 

with “Of course we have 

something else!”. In Swabian of 

course. Anyone who has moved to 

the region, however, breaks out in 

a sweat when confronted with the 

local dialect. Especially if he or 

she moved here just two years 

ago from North Rhine-Westphalia. 

And so sales office manager 

Marko Müller had to capitulate 

when a customer insisted that he 

reply in the Swabian dialect. Fortunately 

the “man from the north” 

is assisted by a competent and 

very dedicated team which not 

only has profound technical 

knowledge at its disposal, but is 

also excellently acquainted with 

the regional dialect. This is very 

popular in Swabia amongst all 

classes of society and is considered 

polite in day-to-day business. 

Because in comparison, anyone 

using standard German is considered 

to be “conceited”.

World Cup Party 

At last! After 32 years another soccer World Cup in Germany! For the team from the sales office 

in Niederaula this was a good reason to obtain the television transmission rights. And to invite all 

the customers to watch the opening game of the German team live during a barbecue. 

More than 25 soccer fans accepted 

the invitation to visit the Stappert 

company premises in Niederaula 

in order to cheer on Klinsmann & 

Co. on the big screen. The atmosphere 

in the marquee erected 

specifically for the occasion was 

almost as high-spirited as in the 

stadium in Munich, and the weather 

also finally decided to cooperate. 

The FIFA World Cup of 2006 was 

just six min-utes old when its first 

memorable moment occurred: 

Philipp Lahm made it 1-0 to 

Germany. It was just a whisker 

away from being the fastest goal

Diversified Clientele 

The diversified clientele requires 

that the salesmen and women have

a World Cup, but even so it was 

still worth seeing how Lahm outdribbled 

two Costa Rican defenders 

before mov-ing in from the left and 

smashing the ball into the corner 

of the net with his stronger right 

foot. That was the signal for the 

party to begin: the celebrations 

were deafening when the German 

team took the lead so early! Even 

the equaliser just a few minutes 

later was not able to dampen the 

spirits of the Stappert customers 

and employees, who continued to 

watch the rest of the game with a

15,000 stored articles consisting 

of 46 different materials, as 

well as the ability to adjust to 

regional differences – whether 

this is a “chat-tering Swabian” 

or the “Bavarian placidness”. 

This works so well that every 

year large quantities of highgrade

customer. And this team can

good deal of interest and excitement. 

Refreshment from the 

grill 

After an overall satisfactory first 

half and a deserved 2-1 lead the 

fans also took a well-deserved 

break. Stappert sales manager 

Dirk Fälber was well prepared with 

his fellow hosts and provided juicy 

steaks, delicious sausages and 

other culinary delights from the 

charcoal grill for anyone that was 

hungry. These were accompa-nied 

by draught beer and other refreshing 

drinks. After being reinvigorated 

in this way everyone was ready for 

the next 45 minutes and awaited the 

whistle of the Argentinian referee 

with great anticipation. 

Goal wall shooting 

and football songs 

The real fans showed their “true 

colours” by means of various symbols 

or fan ar-ticles and formed a 

“12th man” for their team. Their 

enthusiasm paid off: at 7:45 p.m. 

everyone breathed a sigh of relief: 

Germany had won 4-2 and had 

passed the first test. After the final 

whistle the party went on unabated. 

Some of those present had a go at 

football wall shooting, while others 

chatted about how good the game 

had been. Towards the end of the 

day the latest World Cup songs 

were belted out at the top of their 

voices. 

Time flew by and it was the small 

hours before a shuttle service took 

the guests back to their hotel. This 

party had shown that even in the 

“... nature of steel” there is still 

room for a good old-fashioned 

football party!

means of several different processes. A further advantage 

is the fact that CREUSABRO ® can be shaped at

temperatures of approximately 900°C without changing 

its initial anti-abrasive characteristics. 

Temperature-resistant 

Due to its favourable properties the fields of application 

for CREUSABRO ® are very varied. As it has been 

shown to have a longer service life than comparable 

water-quenched steels with the same degree of hardness, 

its uses range from wear strips in the construction 

machine industry and cover a broad spectrum 

that includes entire screens for the chemical industry. 

For example, increasing numbers of enquiries are 

received for excavator lips, blades, cutting edges, 

screw conveyors, blow bars for impact mills, troughs, 

chutes and mixer linings as ready-to-install parts. 

CREUSABRO ® is also the right choice in areas in which 

temperature resistance plays a decisive role. As it can 

be used for temperatures up to 500°C, it is frequently 

used by coking plants and steelworks for lining quenching 

cars or for ash grids. And anyone looking for 

wearresistant pipes, pipe bends, funnels, dust pipes 

and drums will find the right CREUSABRO ® product in 

the broad ABRAService stock programme. Our employees 

will be pleased to help you select the right 

product and provide detailed answers to your questions 

concerning the possible applications or processing of 

CREUSABRO ® . Why not take advantage of our experience 

for your projects!

Always something special 

Even in the middle of the 1970s 

Stappert Spezial-Stahl Handel was 

a forerunner in the storage of special 

profiles in the qualities 1.4301 

and 1.4571. These included U and 

T profiles, IPE and IPB sections 

and special equal and unequal leg 

angles. Initially these profiles were 

produced in extruded versions. In 

the meantime the production process 

has changed. Today they are 

mainly rolled or laser-welded and 

mostly adapted to DIN norms. 

Laser-welded profiles also have a 

reduced weight in comparison to 

PERFECTION 

Synergies between 

pipes, fittings and hollow bars 

Expedition – die Ausrüstung 

extruded profiles and are therefore 

also considerably cheaper. 

Currently Stappert warehouses 

stock profiles in the qualities 

1.4301, 1.4404 and 1.4571 – all of 

them mainly in production lengths 

of 6 metres, although fixed lengths 

are also supplied on request. 

Drawing profiles in 

special materials 

In addition to the standard profiles 

held in stock, Stappert also supplies 

drawing profiles according to 

Perfection 

customer requirements. The range 

comprises not only standard materials, 

but also special items such as 

heat or corrosion-resistant steels. 

This applies to small quantities or 

lengths greater than 6 metres. The 

delivery programme for profiles, 

e.g. sections, is supplemented by 

welded connections of high-grade 

steel with steel qualities which in 

certain applications offer inexpensive 

alternatives. For anyone 

interested in such supplies the 

Stappert sales offices are available 

throughout Germany. 

The interplay between pipes, fittings and hollow bars 

This is the title of a new Stappert catalogue which 

was compiled last year. On a total of 102 pages the 

customer can find the full diversity of the “... nature 

of steel” in the fields of pipes, fittings and hollow bars 

– from seamless to welded, from stainless through 

highly corrosion-resistant to heat-resistant, from 

round to rectangular or square. In a wide range of 

qualities and dimensions and with individual problemrelated 

solutions for all types of applications and 

requirements. For special sizes, special quantities or 

special tolerances. For inspections, surface structures 

or special corrosion and/or temperature requirements.
