New products and developments

At ArcelorMittal, innovation means discovering new solutions that give our customers the competitive advantage. In other words, this means:

Reducing the weight through significant down gauging actions
Increasing the formability of steel, to enable the production of appealingly shaped cans
Complying with ever more stringent environmental regulations

The R&D team specialized in steel solutions for packaging streamlines its various activities towards four major objectives:

To develop new types of steel that are more efficient, resulting in lighter packaging, improved features, and increased appeal through different shapes (Maleïs^®, Creasteel^®).
To develop new metallic coatings, which will enhance the range of surface finishes for steel for packaging, and new organic coatings, in keeping with our commitment to performance and environmental respect.
To develop new packaging solutions to explore the potential of steel and position it as the material of choice for material specifiers (steel bottles, one-piece aerosols).
To continually improve industrial processes for better product control, ensuring that customers’ production lines continue to function optimally and at ever increasing throughputs.
