Steel that comes from strong relationships.
Our steel is the result of an approach that involves the entire value chain.
We are part of an industrial system made up of suppliers, partners, customers, territories and communities. A system in which every choice counts: from raw materials to production processes to the ability to generate value over time.
This is why the quality of steel does not depend only on its technical characteristics, but stems from the strength of relationships, the reliability of the supply chain, the efficiency of processes and the shared responsibility of all involved parties.
We work to strengthen a model capable of combining competitiveness, sustainability and shared development.

PROCUREMENT
Supplies represent the first key element for Feralpi’s ability to be a competitive player in the market.
Diversification and an increasing search for circular solutions led to the introduction of new suppliers and new types of raw materials.
Purchasing policies are coordinated by the Group Purchasing Department as regards the purchase of ferrous scrap, refractory materials, ferro-alloys, electrodes and plants.
Relations with energy suppliers are instead managed by the Group Energy Department.

INBOUND LOGISTICS
Logistics is regulated by internal procedures described within the Management Systems, distinguished by plants and managed in cooperation, when appropriate, with the Group Purchasing function.
Proper coordination of flows is managed with dedicated management software that ensures the traceability and optimisation of logistics flows.

HOT AND COLD PRODUCTION
Production in the Group is divided into casting, hot rolling, and cold rolling.
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology for melting scrap and turning it into billets is present in the plants of:
- Feralpi Siderurgica, also equipped with two rolling mills and an outsourced cold transformation department;
- Acciaierie di Calvisano;
- ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi GmbH, also equipped with a rolling mill and cold transformation and processing department.
The Arlenico plant has a heating furnace for hot rolling, while those of Presider, Presider Armatures, Defim Orsogril, Feralpi-Praha, Feralpi-Hungária, the Saexpa Group and P.R. Soldadura are used for cold processing.

OUTBOUND LOGISTICS
Outbound logistics are managed and organised directly by the customers or by individual Feralpi Group plants through third-party suppliers.
In addition to the products sold, the waste and by-products of the production processes are shipped to Feralpi Group steelworks and to external companies.
Logistical choices are determined by market logic and the availability of alternative transport infrastructure to road.

MARKET
Thanks to its diversified and integrated structure, the Group’s products and services meet the needs at various levels of the supply chains in the construction, infrastructure, mechanical, and automotive industries (special and diversified steels).

CIRCULAR VALUE
Steel is recovered and reused countless times without losing its properties.
Feralpi also contributes to the circular economy through the transformation of production residues into materials for the construction of roads, cement products and civil engineering works, and through the reuse of heat from production processes to heat buildings in the surrounding community.
