Background
The precise start date of the Deutsche Edelstahlwerke GmbH, but the main works were established in 1927 under ThyssenKrupp.[1] Deutsche Edelstahlwerke GmbH was formed in 2007 from the merger of the companies Edelstahl Witten-Krefeld and Edelstahlwerke Südwestfalen.
Deutsche Edelstahlwerke GmbH offers in-house green steel certification; according to the website, the plant can can produce about 110 kg of CO2 per ton of crude steel, which is over 90% below the global average.[2] The plant also produces hydrogen infrastructure steel.[3]
In August, 2023, Deutsch Edelstahlwerke split into two separate companies; the Hagen and Witten mills will be spun off into one company, and the Siegen and Krefeld mills into another. The restructuring included staff layoffs, with at least 350 jobs cut across all four mills.[4]
