Editorial<br />
Germany is the industrial core re-<br />
gion in Europe. Its industries are<br />
based on effi cient and innovative<br />
materials and, in particular, a strong<br />
steel industry.<br />
The steel industry in Germany com-<br />
prises 100 companies and 91,000<br />
employees. All these companies in<br />
the steel industry are innovative and<br />
internationally active, with qualifi ed<br />
and highly motivated employees.<br />
Germany is also a centre of steel<br />
research and development, and<br />
the steel companies have achieved<br />
great successes here. The close<br />
connections between the steel in-<br />
dustry and its customers are also<br />
advantageous.<br />
Steel production in Germany fol-<br />
lows the principle of sustainability<br />
and is globally competitive. For its<br />
success the steel industry supports<br />
open markets and international fair<br />
trade rules.<br />
In this <strong>brochure</strong> you will find the<br />
most important facts and figures<br />
about the steel industry.<br />

The European Union – 27 member states<br />
The European Union is the world’s largest economic area. Germany is at the<br />
heart of Europe, particularly since the European Union’s enlargement, and<br />
was one of the founders of a united Europe. Germany and France, together<br />
with Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands and Luxemburg, were the fi rst mem-<br />
bers of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1952. The ECSC<br />
treaty expired in 2002. The EU 27 of 2007 has 485 million inhabitants and<br />
produces 210 million tonnes of crude steel. This is equivalent to 433 kg<br />
of steel per capita.<br />

The most important steel regions of the world<br />
The European Union’s steel industry – with a production of 210.3 million<br />
tonnes of crude steel in 2007 – makes it by far the world’s most important<br />
steel region after China. The EU is followed by Japan, USA, Russia, India<br />
and South Korea. Germany, with a crude steel production of 48.6 million<br />
tonnes in 2007, is the largest steel producer within the 27 member states.<br />
It is the seventh largest worldwide. The German Steel Federation expects<br />
a crude steel production of about 48.5 million tonnes in 2008.<br />

The extent to which the electric<br />
steel process is used varies greatly<br />
in the member states of the Euro-<br />
pean Union. While in Germany, the<br />
largest steel-producing nation,<br />
31 per cent is produced in electric<br />
arc furnaces, the share is consid-<br />
Source: IISI<br />
erably higher in Italy, Spain and<br />
Luxembourg. In the European<br />
Union of 27, 40 per cent is pro-<br />
duced in electric arc furnaces, i.e.<br />
largely on the basis of steel scrap.<br />
Thus a total of about 105 million<br />
tonnes of steel scrap is recycled.
The steel industry in Germany:<br />
production and sites<br />
Germany’s largest steel company<br />
is ThyssenKrupp which produced<br />
15.9 million tonnes of crude steel in<br />
2007 (including Hüttenwerke Krupp<br />
Mannesmann’s contribution).<br />
The world market leader Arcelor-<br />
Mittal was in second place in 2007<br />
with a production of 8.0 million<br />
tonnes at its German sites in Bre-<br />
men, Duisburg, Eisenhüttenstadt<br />
and Hamburg.<br />
It is followed by Salzgitter AG with<br />
its sites Salzgitter and Peine in the<br />
middle of Germany.<br />

Employees, sales and productivity<br />
in Germany: 1960-2007<br />
Sales, and above all, productivity (calculated in tonnes per employee), of<br />
the steel companies in Germany have consistently risen since the 1960s.<br />
The companies have successfully completed the restructuring and privati-<br />
sation process. The European steel industry is one of the pioneers of this<br />
development. As a result, the steel companies in Germany are among the<br />
most competitive worldwide.<br />

Raw material<br />
Germany has no metallic raw materials. The steel industry in Germany<br />
is therefore – with the exception of steel scrap – 100 per cent dependent<br />
on imports.<br />
Around two tonnes of raw materials are needed for every tonne of steel.<br />
At 44.4 million tonnes, iron ore accounts for the largest quantity in 2007.<br />
Imports come above all from Brazil, Canada and Sweden. The second<br />
important raw material is steel scrap at 21.7 million tonnes. Coal is mainly<br />
imported, chiefl y from Australia, the USA and Canada.<br />
11
Crude steel production by process<br />
The majority of the crude steel made in Germany (about 69 per cent) is<br />
produced by the basic oxygen process, the remainder is made in electric<br />
arc furnaces. A full 97 per cent of the crude steel output comes via the<br />
modern continuous casting process, compared to an average of 90 per<br />
cent worldwide.<br />

The steel companies in Germany<br />
have always been particularly in-<br />
novative and are under the tech-<br />
nological leaders worldwide. These<br />
reductions have been achieved with<br />

Commitment to<br />
sustainable development<br />
Sustainability and environment-<br />
friendly production have a high pri-<br />
ority for the German steel industry.<br />
21 sustainability indicators, whose<br />
development is summarised in a<br />
report each year, are defi ned in the<br />
“Guiding principle of sustainability<br />
– steel”, which was fi rst published<br />
in November 2001.<br />
Indicators of sustainable steel<br />
1. Economy<br />
• Steel production<br />
• Steel utilization<br />
• Profi tability<br />
• Trading<br />
• Productivity of work force<br />
• Expenditures for steel research<br />
14<br />
2. Raw material, energy and<br />
environmental effi ciency<br />
• Energy effi ciency<br />
• Iron effi ciency<br />
• Refractory effi ciency<br />
• CO 2 reduction<br />
• Scrap recycling<br />
• Slag production and utilization<br />
• Water utilization<br />
• Dust emission<br />
• Utilization of transport systems<br />
3. Human indicators<br />
• Accident frequency rate<br />
• Share of skilled workers<br />
• Share of engineers<br />
• Share of apprentices<br />
• Training days per employee<br />
• Ideas management<br />
Sustainable development begins<br />
before production with the delivery<br />
of the raw materials and continues<br />
after the end of the steel products’<br />
life cycle, because steel is a fully<br />
recyclable material. The steel in-<br />
dustry in Germany today consumes<br />
nearly 40 per cent less energy than<br />
in 1960. During the same period<br />
the industry has also cut water<br />
consumption and carbon dioxide<br />
emissions by half and dust emis-<br />
sions by a massive 90 per cent. The<br />
by-products of steel production are<br />
also used in different ways.
Energy effi ciency and CO 2 emissions<br />
Climate change is one of the world’s<br />
most important political tasks. The<br />
voluntary commitment of the steel<br />
industry in Germany for a 22 per<br />
cent reduction in CO 2 emissions by<br />
2012 is well on the way to success.<br />
Many industries in Europe have<br />
clearly given priority to voluntary<br />

Utilisation of slag as a by-product of steelmaking<br />
The total amount of slag generated<br />
during the production of one tonne<br />
of crude steel has been reduced<br />
from 380 kg per tonne to about<br />
310 kg per tonne. The use of the by-<br />
product slag leads to considerably<br />
better resource effi ciency. A total of<br />
about 15 million tonnes of slag was<br />
produced in 2006. Of this, most is<br />
exploited as building material or as<br />
granulated blast-furnace slag for<br />
cement production.<br />
In this way nearly 15 million tonnes<br />
less natural mineral material is re-<br />
moved from nature. At the same<br />
16<br />
time, about one tonne of CO 2 per<br />
tonne of cement clinker can be<br />
saved during cement production.<br />
Overall the aim is to produce no<br />
waste and reduce to zero the re-<br />
maining quantity dumped.
Environment-friendly<br />
steel production<br />
Cooling water is a very important<br />
natural resource<br />
During the last 20 years the specifi c<br />
water requirement in m 3 per tonne<br />
of crude steel has been reduced by<br />
more than two thirds. Only about<br />
10.6 m 3 water per tonne of crude<br />
steel is now required. Cooling water<br />
is managed in a circulatory system<br />
Dust emissions from iron and steel<br />
production in Germany<br />
The generation of dust in kg per<br />
tonne of crude steel has been re-<br />
duced from about 9.0 kg to well<br />
below 0.5 kg since 1960. This has<br />
substantially improved air quality.<br />
at all steelworks, and after its use<br />
it is returned to nature cleaner than<br />
when it was taken up.<br />

The steel industry’s innovations<br />
Germany’s steel industry is invest-<br />
ing in its future. Steel producers<br />
are maintaining their profi tability<br />
by continuous innovations in their<br />
steel production processes and by<br />
focusing on high-return products<br />
such as tailored blanks and tubes,<br />
and cold-rolled surface-finished<br />
strip and sheet, as well as by de-<br />
veloping new products that open<br />
new areas of application for steel.<br />
One example of the innovative ca-<br />
pability of German industry is the<br />
Steel Innovation Prize awarded<br />
every three years, for which there<br />
are about 650 entrants. Employee<br />
motivation is the basis for innova-<br />
tion and progress.<br />

Close co-operation with customers<br />
Steel plays a central role in the most<br />
important industrial value creation<br />
chains in Germany. German steel-<br />
makers work hand-in-hand with<br />
their customers to harmonise en-<br />
gineering requirements with mate-<br />
rial specifi cations, optimise manu-<br />
facturing technologies, and design<br />
products with tailored strengths<br />
and properties. Germany has more<br />
leading automotive companies than<br />
any other nation. Germany’s me-<br />
chanical engineering sector is the<br />
world champion in exports. More-<br />
over, the steel industry is closely<br />
meshed with the producers of metal<br />
goods, most of whom are small and<br />
medium-sized enterprises. These<br />
include the steel-forming compa-<br />
nies, the drawing plants and cold-<br />
rolling works. Maintenance and<br />
intensifi cation of the longstanding<br />
relationships between the steel<br />
companies and their development<br />
partners is helping to sustain Ger-<br />
many’s technological leadership,<br />
making a decisive contribution to<br />
customer loyalty and providing a<br />
solid foundation for the future of<br />
the industries in our country.<br />
Germany’s dense industrial struc-<br />
ture, particularly in the steel-inten-<br />
sive sectors, gives Germany consid-<br />
erable advantages as a location for<br />
companies. This not only involves<br />
logistics, but also an innovative lead<br />
brought about by close co-operation<br />
in research and development. Cus-<br />
tomers make ever-increasing de-<br />
mands on steel companies in order<br />
to be able to maintain their position<br />
in international competition as a<br />
result of prompt deliveries and high<br />
product quality. Together with their<br />
customers, the steel industry is in-<br />
creasingly working within a system<br />
partnership on material-oriented<br />
constructions and optimised pro-<br />
duction techniques.<br />

Organisations of the Stahl-Zentrum<br />
The organisations working under<br />
the aegis of the Stahl-Zentrum are<br />
service providers for steel compa-<br />
nies. They contribute towards con-<br />
solidating the interests of the steel<br />
industry, and ensuring that both the<br />
political institutions and the public<br />
pay suffi cient attention to the in-<br />
dustry. Moreover, the Stahl-Zentrum<br />
supports its member companies<br />
with a wide variety of activities and<br />
information. What characterises<br />
the steel organisations is not just<br />
their many years’ experience. Their<br />
expertise is also the result of a far-<br />
reaching network of differing areas<br />
of competence, as well as close col-<br />
laboration with the companies and<br />
their representatives.<br />

Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl (The German Steel Federation), founded<br />
in 1874, is the political-economic association of the steel industry in<br />
Germany. It represents the branch-related political interests of almost all<br />
the companies producing steel in Germany, as well as associated foreign<br />
member companies, in politics, in business and to the public.<br />

It continued to explore growth op-<br />
portunities in 2007, with 35 acquisi-<br />
24<br />
tion transactions that were agreed<br />
upon and identifying organic growth<br />
projects that will expand output by<br />
20 million tonnes by 2012.<br />
In Germany, ArcelorMittal is the<br />
second largest steel producer with<br />
an output of approximately 8 mil-<br />
lion tonnes this year. The company<br />
operates facilities for fl at products<br />

ThyssenKrupp<br />
ThyssenKrupp is a global group with business activities focused on the areas<br />
of Steel, Capital Goods and Services. The Steel activities are concentrated<br />
in the segments ThyssenKrupp Steel and ThyssenKrupp Stainless.<br />
ThyssenKrupp Steel<br />
The steel segment is led by the operating holding company ThyssenKrupp<br />
Steel AG, with its registered offi ce in Duisburg, which is also the largest<br />
single unit. With crude steel production of about 14.5 million tonnes in fi scal<br />
year 2006/2007 it is one of the leading producers in the world market for<br />
high-quality carbon steel fl at products and ranks second in Europe. As well<br />
as intelligent material solutions, capabilities include product-specifi c pro-<br />
cessing and a wide range of services. The customer- and process-oriented<br />
divisions established for the operating business of ThyssenKrupp Steel AG,<br />
together with the subsidiaries allocated to them, form the business units<br />
Steelmaking, Industry, Auto and Processing.
ThyssenKrupp Steel is the only<br />
steel company worldwide under-<br />
taking growth investment to fo-<br />
cus on the highly profitable seg-<br />
ment of high-end carbon steel fl at<br />
products. To this end the erection of<br />
a steel mill in Brazil with an annual<br />
capacity of 5 million tonnes of slabs<br />
is underway to underpin its mar-<br />
ket strategies for Europe and the<br />
NAFTA region. In addition the com-<br />
pany is building a plant in south-<br />
eastern USA and expanding its<br />
capacities in Europe to process<br />
the slabs from Brazil. The capital<br />
expenditure for these projects will<br />
amount to more than € 6 billion.<br />

10 years ago, in March 1997, Thyssen<br />
and Krupp agreed to merge their<br />
carbon steel flat products opera-<br />
tions. The company started out as<br />
ThyssenKrupp Stahl AG on the 1st<br />
of September. At that time they<br />
were pioneers in the consolida-<br />
tion of the European steel industry,<br />
and it has paid off. In fiscal year<br />
2006/2007 the ThyssenKrupp<br />
Group achieved its best results<br />
since the merger in 1999 with pre-<br />
tax profi ts of € 3.3 billion on sales<br />
of € 51.1 billion. The Steel segment<br />
played a major role in this successful<br />
performance. With around 40,000<br />
employees they expanded its sales<br />
by 9 per cent to € 13.2 billion. EBT<br />
increased by 18 per cent to more than<br />
€ 1.5 billion.<br />
