Alleima has signed an agreement to acquire Söderfors Steel Operations AB (Söderfors Steel). The acquisition will add capabilities in hot rolling of small diameter bars and profiles to expand the offering of advanced materials for the Medical and Aerospace segments.
The acquisition will provide Alleima with the capabilities to manufacture bars with a diameter less than 80 millimeters in high-performance materials as nickel base alloys and remelted stainless steel.
