Safe, efficient production with minimal downtime is paramount in the international food processing industry. A demand that ASSAB’s unique product offering can meet.

As the world’s leading manufacturer of tool steel, our high performance materials have been specifically tested for the food industry. We work closely with our customers in the most demanding applications. Food processing companies, which have previously sacrificed wear resistance for corrosion resistance or vice versa, no longer have to settle for just one of these properties. With the products in our Stainless Concept, there is a solution for the most demanding working materials.

These steel grades are all certified by Normpack for the requirements in the food industry, according to European Union legislation (1935/2004). They all meet the requirements for materials that come into contact with food. Examples of relevant components are various types of knives, rolls, screws, screw segments and barrels for the extrusion of food, hole plates for mincing meat, and pellet dies for the production of animal feed.

Achieving the best results takes time and dedication. It all boils down to selecting the right materials during every step of the production process and in every single component. We work as your partner throughout the whole process – from initial concept to the finished product. Our high performance steel can be supplied as finished components via our ASSAB Component Business concept; delivering you advanced performance solutions with better results and a longer life span, keeping your production running.
