von schaewen GmbH Innovation based on tradition

Innovative for 90 years based on tradition

As a family-owned business in the third generation we stand for traditional values and future-orient-ed corporate planning. Since our foundation by Wilhelm von Schaewen in 1931, we have developed a culture of adaptability and eagerness for innovation which has had an impact on each following generation in its own way.

Nowadays, we produce a wide variety of high quality steel products at our three locations in Germany and one in Poland. The internationally-oriented business is supported by representatives from e.g. the Iberian peninsular, Turkey, Finland such as North- and South America. In this way, we can act globally but always close to the customer.
