Ugitech USA Changes Name to Schmolz + Bickenbach USA
01/02/2008 - Schmolz + Bickenbach Group’s Ugitech USA, a provider of specialty steels, will now operate as Schmolz + Bickenbach USA.
Specialty steels provider Ugitech USA, which is part of the Schmolz + Bickenbach Group, announced that it will now operate as Schmolz + Bickenbach USA.
The company, which serves as Schmolz + Bickenbach USA’s Stainless Steel Materials division, will continue to hold responsibility for all U.S. sales and distribution of stainless long products from its Ugitech production division.
According to the company, the new name reflects the group's global vision to operate all of its distribution divisions under one cohesive international brand, Schmolz + Bickenbach.
“Our product offering, technical and customer service, network of warehouses and commitment to carry inventory remains the same,” said Schmolz + Bickenbach USA Vice President, Chris Zimmer. “In fact, the only
real change our customers will notice is a different name on our paperwork and a different name when we answer the telephone.”
Operating as Ugitech USA (formerly Ugine Stainless & Alloys), the Stainless Steel Materials division of Schmolz + Bickenbach USA has enjoyed a successful track record as a distributor of specialty steel long products to the U.S. market since 1990.
Schmolz + Bickenbach USA distributes specialty steels to the U.S. market from its four divisions: Stainless Steel Materials, Tool Steel Materials, Heat Treatment, and Mill Direct. Primary material suppliers for Schmolz + Bickenbach USA are the group-owned producers Ugitech, Deutsche Edelstahlwerke, and Swiss Steel.
