Good products need good raw materials

The key raw materials used by the ElringKlinger Group are:

  • high-grade steel, mainly steel alloys,
  • aluminum,
  • hot-dip aluminum,
  • carbon steel and
  • polymer granules.

High-grade steel and C (carbon) steel make up around 30% of the Group’s procurement volume.
