In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable steel production, Lindemann has secured a major contract with DEUMU, a key player in Germany's metal recycling industry. This significant achievement, which includes the supply and maintenance of an EtaRip pre-shredder and 4,000 hp ZZ Power Zerdirator, marks one of Lindemann's largest orders under the new ownership of the Swedish MIMIR Group.

The customer – Deutsche Erz- und Metall-Union GmbH (DEUMU) – is a subsidiary of major German steelmaker Salzgitter AG, who in turn is spearheading the transition towards low carbon emission green steel.

Salzgitter AG's ambitious SALCOS project aims to transform its steel mill in Salzgitter, Germany, into a benchmark for green steel production. By incorporating hydrogen energy, direct-reduced iron (DRI), and high purity ferrous scrap, SALCOS is paving the way for sustainable steelmaking. The installation of a new metal shredding plant, supplied by Lindemann, is a crucial component of this initiative.
