PIG IRON
Pig iron is an intermediate product of the iron industry, also known as crude iron, which is obtained by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace.
Pig iron is one of the most fundamental materials for modern industry and global economic development. It serves as the basis for the production of steel and cast iron, two essential materials for countless industrial and everyday applications.
Our commitment is to supply high-quality products that meet the most demanding customer specifications and adhere to the stringent standards of today’s globalised, highly competitive market.
We trade diversified, proven quality raw materials for consumption at steel mills, foundries, and for special use.
