SSAB is a leading producer of high strength steel. The company has a 6 million
tonne capacity for crude steel. The company’s sale of niche products – the high
strength steels – amounts to approximately 37% of the total sales. The goal is
to increase the portion of high strength steels to 50% by 2015. The remaining
sales volumes are ordinary steel products. SSAB has production plants in Sweden
and the U.S.A. There is also a capacity to process and finish the various steel
products in China. In Sweden, the production is integrated in a blast furnace
process. In the U.S., it is scrap-based production in electric arc furnaces.

High strength steel made by SSAB is sold all over the world. The high strength steels contribute to lighter weight of the end product, as compared to the use of ordinary steel. High strength steels also increase strength and longevity. SSAB markets high strength steel under the trademarks Domex, Docol, Prelaq, Hardox, Weldox, Armox, and Toolox.
