Who we are

Partner of industry for more than 60 years

EschmannStahl is one of the biggest tool steel suppliers in Europe. It is a daughter company of the voestalpine High Performance Metals GmbH which operates worldwide and supplies customers with a wride range of plastic mould steels, cold and hot work steels as well as special ES high-performance grades.

Ever since its foundation in 1953 the company EschmannStahl has improved its performance and range of services continuously. Apart from the optimal steel quality for each individual implementation purpose, or the possibilities for individual tailoring, it is the fast and cost-efficient processing of tool steels that is of particular importance to us. Hence, EschmannStahl is one of the few suppliers who offers pre-processed tool steels which are treated with vacuum-heat processes depending on the actual requirements – all dealt with under one roof.
