Sülzle Stahlpartner has announced that it has acquired another regional bender and distributor, Joseph Fien GmbH in Bad Säckingen, state Baden- Württemberg in southwestern Germany.
Joseph Fien has been a steel distributor and iron bending company since 1978, serving the Swiss market in particular, in addition to nearby French regions, Kallanish notes.
In addition to classic reinforcing steel, the company is one of the leading suppliers of stainless steel reinforcement in Germany, Sülzle says. It underlines that Joseph Fien is the only German stainless steel bending company that stocks all materials approved by the building authorities, serving customers nationwide.
Stainless steel reinforcement is used wherever chloride-contaminated moisture can attack load-bearing or sensitive components. This would be the case in in tunnel and basement construction, car park renovations, floor slabs and underground car parks, as well as in special building areas such as hospitals, machine rooms and control rooms.
“With Bad Säckingen, we are entering a region with great market potential and gaining an experienced team that shares our values. At the same time, we are expanding our portfolio in the field of stainless steel reinforcement and thus opening up new market opportunities,” says Heinrich Sülzle, managing partner of Sülzle Group.
Sülzle now owns 19 companies around 1,000 employees at over 30 locations in Germany and France, mainly handling reinforcing bar.
