Industry expertise in steel

Our formula for success: Purchasing bundling and partnership

In concrete terms, for us at E/D/E this means concentrating the steel requirements of our members on key suppliers with whom we have a long-term, intensive and efficient business relationship based on partnership, in some cases over 30 years. These suppliers include the major European companies that dominate the market.

Steel manufacturers whose steel products fully cover the needs of our medium-sized members. Around 1.8 billion euros in trading volume with approximately 1.8 million tons of steel and around 17 million euros in reimbursements for our members are the proud result of this formula.

Voices of our members

We live and breathe steel – as an E/D/E member, you can feel this every day when working with the ESH team.
