GMH Gruppe has decided to continue operating Stahlwerk Bous GmbH as part of its portfolio. After thoroughly evaluating strategic options, the company has developed a robust concept to secure the long-term future of this traditional steel site and ensure its continued contribution to the Group’s transformation journey.
The decision to continue operations at Bous is based on a robust standalone concept, which includes long-term customer agreements, a strong workforce commitment, and a targeted investment roadmap. These elements ensure the site’s competitiveness and future viability independently of other measures.
A few weeks ago, GMH Gruppe announced the planned acquisition of two Buderus Edelstahl GmbH business units in Wetzlar: the hot rolling mill for large, rolled steel dimensions, as well as the machining and heat treatment facilities for highly complex, open-die forged parts. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and approval by the relevant authorities. Once completed, this acquisition will further strengthen GMH Gruppe’s strategic capabilities and open up additional integration opportunities that will complement the future development of Bous.
With this dual approach, GMH Gruppe continues to pursue its growth agenda: strengthening existing production capabilities, expanding into new market segments, and enhancing service quality for its customers. The link between Bous and the planned Buderus integration underpins the Group’s ability to create additional value and reinforces its focus on sustainable and competitive steel solutions.
