SIJ - Slovenian Steel Group

SIJ Group connects Slovenian companies specializing in high-quality steel production and global distribution. Our organization comprises five key divisions: Steel Production, Manufacturing, Scrap, Distribution & Processing, and Headquarters & Other Services. We specialize in high-value steel products, including stainless steels, tool steels, special quarto steels, alloyed tool steels, and more. These offerings solidify our position as a dominant force in both European and global niche steel markets. Our priority lies in enhancing steel semi-products, improving them to manufacture final products with high added value, catering to industries ranging from mechanical engineering, aerospace, and nuclear power, to toolmaking, and industrial knives. As one of the world's top 10 producers of industrial knives, we ensure precision and excellence in every product. 𝗣𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: In the early 1990s, SIJ Group ceased operations of its blast furnaces and shifted to utilizing recycled steel scrap as its primary raw material. With this step, we achieved a level of CO₂ emissions three decades ago that is now considered a benchmark for our industry. 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Even though the CO₂ intensity of the SIJ Group is notably lower than the global average, we remain dedicated to further reducing emissions. Substantial investments in best available technology (BAT) have already been made, and numerous future investments are planned. All these investments are part of our strategy to reduce CO2 intensity by 51% by 2030 compared to the 2020 baseline and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
