Products Plates Cut shapes Sheet piles
The decision to establish the company, later known as Rudolf Hütte, dates back to 1828. And as early as in 1830 a puddling furnace - the very first one in Austria - was fired up there. This was followed by the plant development and construction of new facilities. The predecessors of today’s rolling mills were put into operation in 1913.
More than a century of know-how, along with modern business management, has made the company a leading manufacturer of hot rolled steel products. The current main product mix consists of plates, sheet piles, cutouts and beams.
