Hydnum Steel and Gonvarri Industries join forces to lead the green steel revolution in Iberia
Hydnum Steel, the first steelmaker to produce green steel on the Iberian Peninsula, has signed a landmark strategic agreement with Gonvarri Industries, a global leader in metal transformation, to drive the transition towards sustainable industrial practices in Spain and beyond.
The agreement, valued at €1 billion over an initial seven-year period, underscores a shared vision to promote green steel as a cornerstone for sustainable development. Hydnum Steel will supply decarbonised steel from its state-of-the-art green steel plant in Puertollano, set to become Spain’s leading producer with an annual capacity of 2.6 million tonnes of flat steel.
This partnership highlights both companies’ dedication to innovation and environmental responsibility, positioning Spain as a European leader in green steel production.
The collaboration between Hydnum and Gonvarri aims to integrate green steel into key sectors such as construction, energy, and automotive, offering high-quality, low-carbon products that meet the strictest environmental standards.
Hydnum Steel CEO Eva Maneiro highlighted the company’s ambitious mission: “It’s not enough to be part of the change; we must lead it. Every tonne of green steel and every innovation we bring to the market challenges conventions and pushes the industry towards a truly sustainable future.”
Josu Calvo, CEO of Gonvarri Industries, echoed this sentiment: “Green steel is essential to meeting the sustainability demands of our customers and society. This agreement with Hydnum Steel strengthens our commitment to cleaner and more responsible steel.”
