Czech-owned 7 Steel Nordic Manufacturing is preparing to send its first shipment of steel to a customer in the country, marking an expansion of its European footprint, Kallanish learns.
The material has been produced at the rolling mill in Mo i Rana, Norway and marks the beginning of what is intended to become a new long-term market channel for the company’s low-emission steel. This is produced at Mo i Rana using recycled scrap steel, electric arc furnaces and hydroelectric power.
The first batch consists of approximately 1,200 tonnes of reinforcing bars and coils. Mill owner Sev.en Global Investments says the steel will be used in the completion of the D11 and D35 motorways and in residential projects in Prague, Brno and Ostrava, in the Czech Republic.
The supply process started with a homologation approval programme carried out during the fourth quarter of 2025 to ensure the products meet the technical and regulatory requirements of the Czech market, the group says.
“This is an important milestone for us. The first shipment to Czechia marks the start of developing a new market channel step by step, and we see good opportunities to build a long-term presence there as production in Mo i Rana increases in the coming years,” says Halvard Meisfjord, sales manager at 7 Steel Nordic Manufacturing.
The company aims to position itself as a supplier capable of contributing to the transition towards lower-carbon construction as demand for more sustainable construction materials grows across Europe.
“For us it is important to bring low-emission steel to the Czech Republic and increase awareness of sustainable construction materials in the region. This is a natural step as the European construction sector gradually increases its focus on reducing CO₂ emissions,” Meisfjord adds.
The company says the Nordic and Czech markets complement each other and do not compete directly, making the Czech Republic a suitable channel for gradual growth.
