Klöckner & Co, a Germany-based producer-independent distributor of steel and metal products, has strategically expanded its operations with new investments and acquisitions.

In North America, the company is addressing the rising demand for electrical steel with a new production and service center. The facility will expand capacity for processing cold-rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) electrical steel and is expected to be fully operational in the third quarter of 2025.

Besides, in June, Klöckner & Co acquired Ambo Stahl, a Cologne-based specialist in high-tensile and ballistic steels, to enter the security and defense sectors. The company also acquired Swiss firm Simfloc, making its subsidiary Debrunner Koenig Group a comprehensive provider of building installations in Switzerland.
