Dörrenberg Edelstahl History
Dörrenberg Edelstahl was founded in Germany on 1st May 1860 by brothers Friedrich and Rudolph Dorrrenberg, although the family had been active in the iron and steel industry before this date, owning hammer mills along the Agger and Leppe rivers. In 1869, they took the decisive step of purchasing land and works at Runderoth and this is where Dörrenberg remains to this day – albeit in much-expanded form with four state-of-the-art production plants. With over 500 employees, subsidiaries in 7 countries and partners like us in 15 counties, Dörrenberg is today one of Europe’s major players in the steel market. They have 4 divisions, and it is the Special Steels division that we deal with:
- Special Steels
- Steel Foundry
- Casting Products
- Coating and Hardening
