SSAB is a Nordic and US-based steelmaker headquartered in Stockholm, specialising in high-strength and special steels under brands such as Hardox and Strenx. Its Portuguese organisation, SSAB Swedish Steel — Unipessoal, Lda, has operated from Vale de Santarém since 1994.
SSAB has supplied the Portuguese market since 1994 through its Vale de Santarém organisation, distributing high-strength wear and structural steels — including its Hardox and Strenx brands — to Portuguese manufacturers in transport, construction, agriculture and heavy equipment.
The Portuguese unit forms part of SSAB’s European distribution network, giving Portuguese fabricators direct access to special steels that enable lighter, stronger products and tying the country into the group’s push toward fossil-free steel.
SSAB is a three-decade Swedish materials supplier to Portuguese industry. Its fossil-free steel roadmap also makes it a corridor decarbonisation story — Nordic green-steel ambition feeding Portuguese manufacturing supply chains.
