About

GMH Gruppe is one of the largest privately managed metalworking companies in Europe. Under its umbrella we combine the expertise of 20 medium-sized companies in the steel, forging and foundry industry. We are 6,000 forward thinkers, experts and enablers and generate annual sales of around 2 billion euros. Supplier or OEM - we supply the "Who's Who" of the global industry. Whether it is automotive, general mechanical and plant engineering, railway technology, power generation, transport logistics, aerospace or agricultural and construction machinery - our products keep the world moving. Already today, we are Germany's most climate-friendly steel company. The starting point of our unique value chain is the melting of scrap in electric arc furnaces, which we recycle into new steel. In this way we make an important contribution to the circular economy and are pioneers in sustainable steel production. In comparison to conventional steel production methods using blast furnaces and converters, our electric steel production route emits five times less CO2. With full availability of green electricity, we will achieve virtually CO2-neutral steel production. This is how we reduce our customers' carbon footprint. We make green steel.
