SIJ (Slovenian Steel Group), a leading producer of stainless and special steels in Europe and Slovenia, has recently begun the operations of a new company, Ravne Systems d.o.o., established by a merger between Ravne Knives d.o.o., Sistemske tehnike d.o.o. and Serpa d.o.o. The new company will have a key role in the gradual transition of the SIJ Group to a manufacturer of not only premium steel, but also of end products.
The development of the SIJ Group’s companies in Ravne will now proceed in two centres together with ZIP Centre (a company for the disabled), representing the core of economic development in Koroška.
The first centre is Metal Ravne, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of special steels, which will focus intensely on the development and production of new special and tool steels and thus expand its presence in the global market. The second centre is Ravne Systems, which will focus on the processing of steel into end products – industrial knives, cylinders and other industrial equipment.
