Description: SZG Salzgitter November 15, 2025
Salzgitter AG (XETRA:SZG) is a German-based, vertically integrated steel group operating through four segments: Steel Production (hot-rolled wide strip, sheet, sections, tailored blanks, and scrap trading), Steel Processing (high-grade heavy plates, line pipes, HFI-welded and precision tubes), Trading (European sales network and global agencies), and Technology (machinery for beverage packaging, shoe manufacturing, elastomer production, plus IT, logistics, automotive engineering, and R&D services). Founded in 1858, the company combines traditional steelmaking with diversified engineering solutions.
Key recent metrics indicate a 2023 revenue of roughly €8.4 billion and an EBIT margin near 6 %, reflecting modest profitability in a price-sensitive industry. The firm’s steel capacity utilization hovered around 80 % in 2023, while the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) carbon price, now above €80/t CO₂, adds a material cost pressure on its production. Demand drivers include a rebound in German construction activity (CPI-adjusted building permits up 12 % YoY) and the automotive sector’s shift toward higher-strength steel for lightweighting, whereas overcapacity in global steel-particularly from China-remains a downside risk.
