Slovenia's Store Steel to open 30 mln euro metallurgy centre - report
The new investment what’s being built
According to the report, Store Steel will build a new secondary metallurgy centre, with an estimated investment of over €30 million.
This facility is intended to expand the company’s metallurgical capabilities beyond its existing operations.
Purpose — why Store Steel is undertaking this move
The centre will allow Store Steel to produce high-strength steels with improved mechanical properties.
This enhancement in steel quality will position the company to move beyond serving just the automotive industry, giving it the ability to cater to niche industries that demand more advanced steel grades.

Expected impact on production capacity and output
With the new metallurgy centre, Store Steel expects to increase its production capacity by more than 10%.
Specifically, the company aims to produce around 140,000 tonnes of steel products in 2025, up from about 118,000 tonnes in the previous year.

Strategic significance — shift in market positioning
Currently, Store Steel’s main focus is supplying steel — like spring steel, forging/engineering steel and “Exem” steel — primarily to the European automotive sector.
By investing in a secondary metallurgy centre capable of high-strength steel production, the company signals a strategic shift to higher-value steel products. This could make Store Steel more competitive and help it tap into markets with more demanding steel requirements.
What remains uncertain / what’s still unclear
While the investment plan is public and sizeable, some operational details remain unclear. For example — at the time of the report — an email sent by the news provider seeking further information about the investment had not been answered.
Thus, exact details such as timeline for completion, the specific types of new steel grades to be produced, and how quickly capacity will ramp up remain undisclosed.
