Swiss Steel Group is one of the global market leaders in the special long steel products sector
The magazine WirtschaftsWoche has published this year’s list
Lucerne/Emmenbrücke. Every year Christoph Müller, professor of business economics at the University of St. Gallen, ranks the global market leaders. To be considered a world leader, a company must be number one or two in sales in at least one relevant market sector (not in all business segments). At least 50 percent of annual revenue – at least 50 million euros – must be generated abroad and on three continents. The company must have at least part of its registered offices in Germany. This also applies accordingly to Austria and Switzerland.
On February 1 and 2, 2023 the «Global Market Leader Summit” will be held in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany. Swiss Steel Group will be attending.
