STOCKHOLM, Jan. 12, 2026 — thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe has entered into a supply contract with Stegra for steel from its Boden, Sweden facility. Initial shipments are anticipated to begin in 2027, with total volumes reaching the high-six-figure tonnage range.

Under this long-term contract, thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe will purchase substantial quantities of non-prime steel from Stegra for distribution to its European customer base across multiple sectors.

“thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe possesses the customer network, logistical infrastructure, and processing capabilities to manage these substantial steel volumes. Simultaneously, our collaboration with Stegra will facilitate the scale-up of their Boden operations and advance steel industry decarbonization,” stated Heather Wijdekop, CEO of the Processing division at thyssenkrupp Materials Services.

thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe, a division of thyssenkrupp Materials Services, operates as a leading European steel and aluminum service center. The company delivers customized processed steel products to sectors such as automotive supply, construction, and original equipment manufacturers.

Stegra is constructing a new steel production plant in Boden, Sweden, that will utilize green hydrogen powered by renewable electricity. The steel manufacturing process inherently generates non-prime steel—material that falls short of the top-tier quality requirements for specific applications yet remains robust and suitable for numerous purposes. Consequently, non-prime steel represents a significant segment of the European steel market.

“Securing a non-prime steel partner is essential for our mill’s ramp-up phase, and we view this as the beginning of a enduring collaboration with market leader thyssenkrupp Material Services. Our joint efforts will create enhanced demand for steel manufactured through the green hydrogen pathway,” commented Stephan Flapper, Commercial Director at Stegra.

Despite Stegra’s Boden facility operating exclusively on hydrogen and renewable power, the non-prime steel procured by thyssenkrupp Materials Services under this agreement will not qualify as CO₂-reduced. This is because Stegra will market the environmental benefits through Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) to prime steel market clients.

Stegra unveiled its inaugural environmental attribute certificate deal in September 2025. Non-prime steel contracts play a vital role in fostering the EAC market within the steel sector.

To prevent double-counting of emission reductions, purchasers of the physical steel must pledge to refrain from asserting environmental claims.
