A success story with an unusual beginning The history of Böllinghaus Steel ( formerly Remscheider Walz- und Hammerwerke Böllinghaus GmbH & Co . KG ) began in 1889 with an unusual bet . Master butcher Herrmann Diederich Böllinghaus proclaimed that he was going to build a rolling mill in Remscheid , even though he had no experience in steel production . Fortunately , he was able to count on the support of his brother-in-law Johann Ludwig Härtel , who had the necessary expertise . This bet marked the beginning of a long success story that was to make the company a global player in the stainless steel industry .
Core business and strategic expansion Böllinghaus Steel ’ s core business is the production of hot-rolled and colddrawn stainless steel profiles , such as flat bars , hexagonal bars and square bars , which are used in numerous industries , including medical technology , aerospace and the oil and gas industry .
