Today, Händle is a world leader in engineering and manufacturing for bulk raw material solutions. They became part of The Steele Group in 2000. We’re proud to congratulate Gerhard Fischer, Händle’s Managing Director, and his colleagues on reaching this milestone.

The 120 AEX is a high-performance stiff extrusion solution, engineered to increase brick production. It’s better than anything we’ve ever built — more productive, more cost-effective, safer, faster and easier to operate. If you’re planning to dial up output, the 120 may be the best solution.

How ‘bout a shout-out to John Sanders and his colleagues at the National Brick Research Center for planning and hosting this year’s virtual forum? It’s been a tough year, but they found a way to bring brick industry people together.

Customer service is part of Steele’s DNA. That’s why customers around the world count on us for help in the fight against downtime. As an example, here’s the timeline for a recent service call.

Our new web-based efficiency calculator gives you the data you need to help improve production efficiency. All you need is a stopwatch and a tape measure, plus the type of augers you’re running.

Steele customers run our machines for decades and they run them hard. Like any machines, ours need routine maintenance. And after a half-century or so of service, they may need a major component or shaft replaced. When that happens, we take care of it.

The Metal-Expo also recognized the late Ivan Kuranov, a giant in the Russian steel industry and former chief blast furnace operator at NLMK Lipetsk. Kuranov designed the new metallurgical briquetting plant. He worked closely with Steele engineers on application development and Direxa Engineering, our EPC partner, to deliver a turnkey solution.
