ThyssenKrupp VDM (Werdohl) is a leading international supplier of high-performance materials.<br />
Operating from four sites in Germany, the company supplies these nickel and cobalt alloys as well<br />
as specialty steels in the form of sheet, strip, bar and wire to customers in the energy, oil, gas, plant<br />
construction, aerospace and electronics sectors.<br />
The ThyssenKrupp VDM plants in Germany and the two plants of ThyssenKrupp VDM USA (New<br />
Jersey, Nevada) employ the latest technologies, particularly in the area of melting and remelting. New<br />
materials for complex applications are developed in close collaboration with customers. The company<br />
has its own sales offices in North America, Asia and Australia.<br />
At the Unna site, the company has expanded its remelting capacities and built a modern forging<br />
line, which went into operation in April 2008. This will allow ThyssenKrupp VDM to grow in highly<br />
profitable segments of the nickel alloy market. These include above all the so-called superalloys, i.e.<br />
high-performance materials with special corrosion and heat-resisting properties. The new forging line<br />
will add to ThyssenKrupp VDM’s range of products for the aerospace industry in particular.<br />
