Operating from five sites in Germany, the company supplies these nickel and cobalt alloys, specialty steels as well as titan and titan alloys in the form of sheet, strip, bar,wire and tubes to customers in the energy, oil, gas, plant construction, aerospace and electronics sectors. The ThyssenKrupp VDM plants in Germany and the two plants of ThyssenKrupp VDM USA (New Jersey, Nevada) employ the latest technologies, particularly in the area of melting and remelting. New materials for complex applications are developed in close collaboration with customers. The company has its own sales offices in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. At the Unna site, the company has expanded its remelting capacities and built a modern forging line, which went into operation in April 2008. This will allow ThyssenKrupp VDM to grow in highly profitable segments of the titanium and nickel alloy market. These include above all the so-called superalloys, i.e. high-performance materials with special corrosion and heat-resisting properties. The new forging line will expand ThyssenKrupp VDM’s range of products for the aerospace industry in particular. | | | | belongs to corporate sector(s)
