Bette utilises the cold rolled grade DC06EK from ArcelorMittal

Steel allows 30-year guarantees

To create its unique enamelled products, Bette relies on grade DC06EK from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products. “As a premium manufacturer, we only have one level of quality – very high,” notes Thilo C. Pahl. “And to achieve that level, we only use DC06EK. The steel is alloyed with titanium, and bonds tightly with the enamels that we use. The physical characteristics of the steel enable Bette to offer a 30-year guarantee on our glazed titanium-steel solutions.”

Bette and ArcelorMittal have a long relationship stretching back in the 1970s. “Thomas Quattelbaum has been our link with ArcelorMittal for more than 31 years now,” says Thilo C. Pahl. “Our long and continuing partnership and ArcelorMittal’s quality steels are the strengths of our relationship.”
