"The steel industry is facing a major transformation with the ongoing wave of digitalization, and we want to be a pioneer in this work," says Göran Nyström, EVP Group Marketing & Technology. "The launch of Steel Navigator enhances our service offering to the market for engineering steel and will help our customers to quickly identify the right steel for their application, making their processes more efficient."

Steel Navigator allows customers for search for specific steel grades by group, quality, type of process, product and chemical composition, not just among Ovako’s steels but also among steels supplied by its competitors.

Steel Navigator is being launched in conjunction with the Elmia Subcontractor trade fair in Jönköping and will be available globally from November 10 at steelnavigator.ovako.com.
