The tin can is impressively versatile. It holds everything from a quick snack or an ice-cold soda to hair sprays and styling products. But how come a soup can doesn't break when it falls onto the kitchen floor? And what happens to it after it disappears into the recycling bin? And who makes sure that it's convenient to use and good to look at? One thing's for sure: Even if the can is over 200 years old, it's still a real high-tech product – thanks to intensive research and development –a connerstone of our new product development process

A modern passenger aircraft is put together from millions of parts, like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle. All these parts need to arrive in the assembly shop on time and with nothing missing. This is where we take over: We manage the supply chain for all outsourced aluminum and titanium parts and coordinates more than 500 suppliers. Examples like these highlight our capabilities in the global materials business: a strong international network, experience in managing complex projects, and special knowledge of the markets and industries. And with more than 500 locations in 34 countries, we are never far away from our customers.

A sophisticated warehouse, logistics and information logistics system ensures rapid availability while keeping overall inventories to a minimum. Every customer receives his materials not only just-in-time, but also in exactly the dimensions and shapes he needs them – as tailored, ready-made individual parts or produced in large volumes of several million units per year.

In the future, alternative power systems for road vehicles will be essential. But weight is a major challenge for electric mobility. So, we need to make cars lighter. Our researchers have developed a new steel grade that is not only very strong, but also very stiff. With our help, car manufacturers will be able to reduce the weight of their vehicles by around 30 percent compared with conventional steel solutions

As a diversified industrial group with high technology and materials expertise, we consider resource and energy efficiency as key divers of our competitiveness. Accordingly, we defined efficient process as an important component of our corporate program "impact" launched in 2011. In the context of impact, our group companies are oriented to the benchmarks of the respective industry.
