Today, Welser Profile is challenging extruded aluminium. Jörn Miklas, Sales Manager for Automotive and Transport at Welser Profile in Bönen, is convinced that profiles of ultra high strength steels could match aluminium in weight and be superior in quality and economy.

“By using extra and ultra high strength steels we can create profiles that help our customers to manufacture products that are lighter as well as stronger.”

“We have a partnership with suppliers like SSAB,” explains Jörn Miklas. “They keep us informed about new products and other important news about ultra high strength steel. We already know that we can handle the next generation of ultra high strength steel. Being prepared for the next stages is a necessity for a company which will be celebrating its 350 year jubilee in a few years’ time.”
