We recognized the necessity for rationalizing reinforcement work early on and keep on perfecting it by means of comprehensive research and development. This fact played an important role after the Second World War, as rapid reconstruction demanded particularly economic methods.

The brand Baustahlgewebe has strongly influenced the global market for steel concrete matting through its systematic educational work.
Meanwhile Baustahlgewebe is member of the corporate association "Südwest Beteiligungen GmbH". Our performance and the range of products have been continuously developed and improved. Nowadays this corporate association produces and distributes annually more than 2 million metric tons of reinforcing steel of which 1.6 million metric tons pass through our wire processing plant.

Concrete construction will continue to gain significance in the future when conservation of resources, recyclability, availability, flexibility, profitability and – last but not least – sustainable guarantee of safety and security will be essential parts of civil engineering. This aspect also shows the mutual affinity of these building materials: concrete and reinforcing steel complement each other in an ideal way.

Baustahlgewebe knows that stagnation of reinforcement engineering represents an intolerable situation. Therefore we will bring up our full concentration on the development of this area even in the future. We will adapt our range of products to suit future needs and optimize our business activities in favour of forward-looking construction methods and customers.
