Voestalpine Steel World and its collection

Voestalpine Steel World
Source

The most important steel production factories of Voestalpine AG are located in Linz, Leoben, and Krems. These locations are significant as they are the heart of the company's steel production operations.

Historical Background of Voestalpine AG

Voestalpine has a rich history dating back to the foundation of Eisenwerke Oberdonau in 1941. This company was a central part of the German consortium Reichswerke Hermann Göring, which was the main producer of iron and steel for the German war machinery during World War II. This historical context provides a deeper understanding of the company's origins and its role during a significant period in history.

Innovation at Voestalpine AG

Between 1949 and 1952, Voestalpine developed a technique that would allow the production of steel using oxygen, known as the basic oxygen process L-D. This technique is still used in steel mills today, demonstrating the company's innovative approach and its lasting impact on the industry.
