Sidenor is a steelmaking company that describes itself as a leading producer of special long steels and one of the principal suppliers of special steels with a low carbon footprint. Its product range includes semi-finished steel, rolled products and drawn or otherwise finished bar products. The company’s homepage describes a workforce of close to 1,800 people and highlights research, product and process development, and sustainability across its value chain. Its listed semi-finished products include billets and rectangular and round blooms. Rolled products include wire rod, bars, billets and flats; its calibrated products include drawn, turned, ground and cold-drawn products. The range covers carbon and several categories of alloy steel, including steels for quenching and tempering, case hardening, nitriding and spring applications.

The company says it makes steel using electric arc furnaces and that its steel contains 97% recycled material. It presents life-cycle analysis as a way to assess and reduce product environmental impact, and offers customers sustainable and carbon-neutral steel options. Its sideCO2 software is described as calculating the environmental footprint of more than 20,000 steel references.
