A great first-hand experience for the EEW Team at Dillinger 🤝 As part of our ongoing celebrations for the 90th anniversary of the EEW Group, we want to create meaningful experiences that bring our colleagues closer together. Our goal is to offer unique opportunities to step outside our daily routines, connect across departments, and gain a deeper and personal understanding of the different stages of our production process. With this in mind, we organized a special activity that connects our team directly to the very beginning of our value chain, alongside our long-standing partner: Dillinger. A diverse group of colleagues from various departments set off for Saarland to visit Dillinger and see for themselves where the heavy plates we use for our foundations begin their journey. Once there, we were welcomed with a clear explanation of the steel-making process and how Dillinger produces plates to meet customer-specific requirements. 👷 👷‍♀️ From there, we started a fascinating two-hour tour across the extensive production site. We watched raw steel being produced in the steelworks from pig iron manufactured on-site in the blast furnaces and then saw how those slabs are processed into heavy plates in the rolling mill. During the tour, we also caught a glimpse of the massive transformation construction site in Dillinger, which is part of the Project “Power4Steel” – one of the largest decarbonization projects in Europe - where new facilities for CO2 reduced steel production are being built to start operations in 2029. To round off an incredibly day, we wrapped up the evening with a great barbecue at the Dillinger guest house. A huge thank you to the team at Dillinger for hosting us so warmly, sharing your incredible expertise and being such a vital partner in our 90-year journey. 🙌
