OM Siderurgica Announces Green Steel Contracts to Drive Europe’s Sustainability Transition

OM Siderurgica secures €10M in contracts for zero-emission steel plants, strengthening its role in the green steel transformation across Europe

Italy, 29th Nov 2025 – OM Siderurgica, a leading Italian engineering and construction company, has positioned itself at the forefront of Europe’s steel industry transition towards sustainability. With new contracts valued at over 10 million euros, the company is enhancing its reputation as a key player in the green steel transformation. This move is pivotal for OM Siderurgica as it seeks to meet the growing demand for zero-emission steel production, an essential part of the global push for decarbonization in manufacturing.

A Legacy of Innovation: OM Siderurgica’s Engineering Expertise

Founded in 1964, OM Siderurgica has built a reputation for excellence in the engineering and construction of material handling systems for steel mills. Over the decades, the company has expanded its reach, offering turnkey plants not only in steel but also in mining, cement, glass, food, chemical, and recycling industries.

The company’s strength lies in its comprehensive approach, covering everything from design and installation to after-sales support. OM Siderurgica has consistently provided its clients with reliable, high-quality solutions tailored to meet specific operational needs.

“OM Siderurgica’s ability to meet the challenges of different industries is rooted in our deep experience and continuous innovation. We’ve maintained our focus on operational efficiency and environmental responsibility, which has positioned us well for the green transition in steel production,” says CEO Pierluigi Tomasi.

Leading the Charge in the Green Steel Transition

The steel industry is among the largest global emitters of CO2, and the industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. In response, OM Siderurgica is helping to facilitate the transition from traditional coal-powered steel mills to innovative, low-emission production processes. This includes technologies such as Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) that use hydrogen or pre-reduced raw materials like Direct Reduced Iron (DRI).

OM Siderurgica is playing a pivotal role in this transformation by designing and building complex material handling and feeding systems required for these new technologies. These systems are crucial for ensuring the precise distribution of materials like DRI and HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) into the furnace, a process that demands extremely high levels of accuracy.

“Our role in the green transition is crucial because we ensure the precise handling and feeding of materials in the new low-carbon steel production processes,” explains Tomasi. “Our systems guarantee the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible transportation of materials such as DRI and ferro-alloys, which are vital for the success of these green technologies.”

OM Siderurgica’s latest contracts reflect the company’s expanding involvement in Europe’s green steel initiative. Among the high-profile projects secured are the installation of feeding systems for DRI and ferro-alloys at primary EAFs in Germany, large-scale conveyor systems in Sweden, and new slag treatment plants in Italy.

The Circular Economy: Transforming Waste into Value

As part of OM Siderurgica’s sustainability strategy, the company focuses not only on reducing emissions but also on recycling by-products, such as slag, into valuable resources. Steel production generates significant amounts of slag, but OM Siderurgica has developed innovative processes to repurpose this by-product through its “Zero Waste” philosophy.

By applying advanced technologies such as crushing, screening, and magnetic separation, OM Siderurgica recovers valuable ferrous materials that can be reintroduced into the steelmaking process. Additionally, the inert material left behind is processed into high-quality aggregates used in the construction and road industries.

“Our commitment to the circular economy has been a cornerstone of OM Siderurgica’s business since the early days. By applying our expertise in materials handling and processing, we help our clients maximize resource efficiency and reduce waste,” says Tomasi.

Innovation Driving Sustainability: OM Siderurgica’s Technological Edge

OM Siderurgica’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its continued investment in cutting-edge technologies. The company’s technical office utilizes state-of-the-art systems, including 3D modeling for material handling designs, to ensure maximum efficiency in every project.

A key area of innovation is the development of pneumatic conveying systems, which are essential for transporting powdery materials while controlling environmental pollutants. These systems, combined with advanced dedusting and fume abatement technologies, ensure that OM Siderurgica’s plants operate efficiently while minimizing environmental impact.

Looking ahead, OM Siderurgica continues to focus on expanding its portfolio of green steel technologies. According to Tomasi, the company is also exploring opportunities to retrofit existing steel plants with green technologies, a challenge that will require significant engineering expertise and adaptation of older systems to meet new environmental standards.

“As the global demand for steel continues to rise, it’s clear that the transition to green steel will not be achieved solely by new, low-emission plants. We are committed to helping our clients revamp existing operations to meet the environmental standards required for the future of the steel industry,” Tomasi explains.
