Product development Patrik Schraven takes up the story to explain the synergies for future developments . “ These are based on the twin pillars of innovation and product development . For innovation , agility and speed are key topics we will address and work on to improve . Thinking outside of the box is a focus , together with flexible service offerings for customers beyond just selling tubes .” “ For product development , MST traditionally had a strong base with research centres all over Europe , and as DMV we will work closely with CAS ’ s network as well . Developments with key customers are ongoing and we will continue to create new products to meet future demand . Combining resources with CAS makes us stronger in terms of metallurgical science , and now we have steelworks to back that up .” “ Looking ahead , product development will focus on applications such as aerospace , medical , automotive and defence . These sectors will require new special nickel alloys , cobalt alloys and Maraging steels . This is a great chance for us to grow into markets that were previously limited to us due to the missing raw material base .”
DMV integrated production of extruded tube & pipe .
Positive outlook “ Today ’ s macroeconomic environment , especially in Europe , is somewhat depressed , and this is affecting the steel market ,” adds Mr Le Rigoleur . “ The launch of DMV and our new journey with the Cogne Acciai Speciali Group creates a lot of positive momentum , which is unique to the industry . The Board of Directors and our staff are looking forward to the short , medium and long-term future . It ’ s incredibly motivating for all of us .” Mr Burelli continues : “ Prior to the acquisition of MST , the Cogne Group had a staff of 2,100 and eight production facilities . MST added 1000 people and five plants , so in relative terms , that ’ s a very substantial addition . It is an honour for us to now have this important piece of Europe ’ s steel history as a part of our group .” “ CAS is a modern company with no bureaucracy and the ability to make decisions rapidly . In the future with DMV , we will continue to create the conditions for future success . It will be an inspiring journey as we strive to utilise the power of togetherness .”
