Germany-based Peiner Träger GmbH, a subsidiary of German steelmaker Salzgitter Group, has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Sweden-based trading and service company BE Group AB to promote the use of carbon-reduced steel in the construction sector and to establish steel as a low-emission building material. Accordingly, the companies are deepening their partnership to include carbon-reduced beams and profiles made of SALCOS® structural steel.
“Our range now includes SALCOS® structural steel from Peiner Träger GmbH with a low carbon footprint, which strengthens our commitment to a greener industry and supports our customers' sustainability transition,” Peter Andersson, CEO of BE Group, said. The green transformation in the construction sector is in full swing and demand for carbon-reduced building materials will increase in the coming years, SteelOrbis understands.
