The combined company will continue to serve the customers with a broad offering within high-strength steels, standard strip and plate products as well as tubular products.

It will be a Nordic and US –based steel company with a global reach and local service. The proposed combination enhances the capacity to invest more in product development, R&D and collaborate closely with the customers.

The 1022 European Commission’s approval for the combination with Ruukki is conditional on a commitment by SSAB to divest certain assets within its Nordic Steel Distribution system and Finnish construction business.
