Experience the tour "The Path to Steel"

Experience steel production up close – from the traditional blast furnace production route to the climate-friendly future within the framework of the greentec steel transformation. This tour provides you with a compact and vivid overview of the entire steel production process and explains how innovative technologies pave the way for more sustainable steel production.

What to expect:
The tour starts at the visitor center and takes you through all the central production steps of the blast furnace route:

• Sinter plant
• Blast furnace
• Blast furnace control room
• Process description of the steelworks

We will include the steelworks in our tour and explain its processes and significance in the overall context. Please note that we cannot enter the steelworks directly as visitor access is currently not possible. Afterwards, you will get an insight into the future steel production with the electric arc furnace before the tour ends back at the visitor center.
