According to SSAB, the two companies have agreed to work together to bring fossil-free steel to the cargo handling industry.
 
“We are happy to welcome Cargotec as a partner for fossil-free steel products. Close collaboration with the development of a fossil-free value chain means we contribute to strengthening our customers’ competitiveness and to reducing their carbon footprint. Together, we also ensure the best solutions for end users,” Martin Lindqvist, president and chief executive of SSAB, said.
 
“I am proud that we are paving the way in the cargo handling industry through commitment to using fossil-free steel and have this unique opportunity to work with a forerunner in fossil-free steel development. This is an important step toward our vision of becoming a leader in sustainable cargo flow,” said Mika Vehviläinen, chief executive of Cargotec.
 
This announcement is the latest in fossil-free-steel news from SSAB, who celebrated the first shipment of its 100% fossil-free steel last month.
