The Waelzholz Group, headquartered in Hagen, Germany, has 2,300 employees worldwide. At various production locations in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, approximately 780,000 tons of high-quality cold rolled steel strip and profiles are manufactured annually. With its wide range of steel materials and more than 190 years of experience, Waelzholz offers customized solutions for the automotive industry, power generation and for the industrial sector, e.g. thin electrical steel strip for environmentally friendly electric vehicle drives and efficient power generation machinery or high-strength spring steels for automotive seat-belt-systems. In close cooperation with the customer, every material is tailored specifically to the final application.

Whether the customer’s goal is efficiency, performance, speed, scalability, lightweight construction or a combination of these factors – Waelzholz offers a broad product range of high-performance electrical steel strip with outstanding magnetic properties. Thanks to their good permeability and low core losses, thin NO-grades with a possible nominal thickness of 0.20 millimeters are ideal for the use in high-frequency electric drives. When it comes to extreme mechanical stress, Waelzholz's high-strength grades with yield strengths above 500 MPa are the best choice. Apart from that, the technology leader offers Backlack bonding varnish for efficiently bonding electrical steel strip lamination stacks. The special bonding varnish leaves the highly important magnetic flux undisturbed, it applies no stress and does not deform the material, ensuring that the magnetic properties remain entirely intact.
