00:01Jeleziarne Podbrezova, founded more than 185 years ago,

00:05is today a truly modern steel producer with entirely Slovak capital.

00:09As an advanced and responsible circular economy enterprise,

00:12we specialize in producing high-quality steel from carefully recycled steel scrap,

00:17thereby fully fulfilling the fundamental principles of sustainability

00:20that are the very foundation of the European environmental strategy.

00:24The core of our production consists of secondary raw materials to which we give new life

00:29and our mission is clear, to create a sustainable metallurgical enterprise

00:34based on precision, efficiency and ecological responsibility.

00:54The collection and careful processing of scrap materials is expertly handled by our subsidiaries,

00:58EcoQuellet and Kejbizet.

01:00EcoQuellet specifically uses a powerful shredder and an efficient sorting system

01:04to process car wrecks as well as various other metal waste.

01:07Both companies ensure homogeneous scrap through cutting, burning and pressing.

01:12These companies carry out scrap purchasing at more than 50 locations across Slovakia,

01:17with a maximum distance of 250 km from the steel scrap processing site.

01:23Their output is high-quality steel scrap which serves as the input material for our production cycle.

01:30In the electric arc furnace with a capacity of up to 50 tons,

01:37steel scrap is melted using an electric arc.

01:39We use exclusively electrometallurgical processes,

01:43a technology designed for processing secondary raw materials,

01:45thereby fulfilling the requirements of the European taxonomy.

01:46In 2023, steel scrap accounted for more than 96% of all metallurgical inputs.

01:50For every tonne of steel produced, we use 1,115 kg of steel scrap.

01:51After melting, the molten metal is homogenized by the metal.

01:52The metal is used by the metal.

01:53For every tonne of steel produced, we use 1,115 kg of steel scrap.

01:54For every tonne of steel produced, we use 1,115 kg of steel scrap.

01:55After melting, the molten metal is homogenized by blowing with an inert gas and then poured into a ladle.

01:58Here, refining takes more than 1,115 kg of steel scrap.

02:00For every tonne of steel produced, we use 1,115 kg of steel scrap.

02:05After melting, the molten metal is homogenized by blowing with an inert gas and then poured into a ladle.

02:10Here, refining takes place, where its chemical composition is adjusted,

02:13and the purity and quality of the steel are increased to meet the requirements of further processing.

02:18For every tonne of steel produced, we use 1,115 kg of steel scrap.

02:21After melting, the molten metal is homogenized by blowing with an inert gas and then poured into a ladle.

02:24Here, refining takes place, where its chemical composition is adjusted,

02:28and the purity and quality of the steel are increased to meet the requirements of further processing.

02:34The steel is cast through three streams of the continuous casting machine.

02:53Blooms with a square or circular cross section are produced.

02:57The casting technology was modernized in 2013,

03:01increasing the accuracy, quality, and dimensional stability of outputs.

03:20Two-thirds of the steel undergoes processing in the hot rolling mill.

03:24The rest goes to customers in the metallurgical industry,

03:27where it is further shaped by rolling or pressing.

03:30Our high-quality products are the very foundation of many demanding and complex technical applications.

03:50Since 2013, the steel plant has been specifically equipped with a robust vacuum filtration system,

03:56with an impressive capacity of approximately 900,000 cubic meters per hour.

04:00The system also includes heat recovery, which is used to heat administrative buildings,

04:05the swimming pool, and the football stadium area in the village of Podbrezova.

04:10A by-product is slag, which is used in the construction industry.

04:14At Zelesiarne Podbrezova, we combine metallurgical tradition with modern technology.

04:21We create top-quality steel from recycled materials,

04:25and optimize every step for efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

04:30This is our comprehensive vision of truly responsible steelmaking for the entirety of the 21st century.

04:36This is the body of modern technology.

04:37The body of modern technology in China

04:38has been developed.

04:40A system of modern technology in China

04:42has built in all parts of the world.

04:43That's why we practicallyour-style robots are developed.

04:46The best way more than our own customers will be used to,

04:47the best way more than our students will be used to,

04:49the best way more than our students will be used to one of the best- Western-world techs.
