The merger between SMS Schloemann-
Siemag AG and the metallurgical plant
division of Mannesmann Demag AG in
1999 to form SMS Demag AG created a
world leader in the construction of plants for
the steel, aluminium and copper industries
with a complete process chain extending
from crude iron production right through
steelmaking, continuous casting, rolling mill
and tubemaking technologies, to processing
and finishing lines for hot and cold strip.
Within the structure of SMS Demag AG,
SMS Meer was established from the former
‘Tube and Copper Plants’ business unit of
Mannesmann Demag Metallurgy. In 2001,
the ‘Long Product Rolling Mills Division’
was integrated into SMS Meer. As part of a
reorganisation in 2003, SMS Meer became
part of the ‘Tube, Long Product and Forging
Technology’ business area of the Group.
The product range of SMS Meer essentially
consists of: manufacturing plants and
automated finishing systems for seamless
and welded steel tubes (diameters from
4-1,800mm), hydraulic presses such as
open-die forging presses and powder
presses, and casting and rolling plants for
sections, wire rod and bar steel.
This is in addition to casting and rolling
plants for extrusion billets, strips, wire
rod, anodes and tubes made from non-
ferrous and precious metals, plants for
the production and further processing of
aluminium billets and slabs as well as
plants for the recycling of aluminium.
