INNOVATION IS
Our success lies in innovation not imitation.
The Bhler success story has its beginnings in a metals trading house in Vienna in the 1870s. The Bhler brothers Albert und Friederik were Viennese traders selling steel produced in Kapfenberg. Their sales, organisational and logistical skills were such that in 1894 they were able to buy the Kapfenberg crucible steel works. They modernized the plant, expanded the product range and increased production. The name Bhler quickly became synonymous with the term The Best in Special Steels. Innovatively, through a Sales and Customer Service Network unrivalled at that time the Bhler tradition of being close to the customer was founded. Service is now embedded in our culture. Since then our continued success has been based on the interaction of a good many forces. Technological advances, the ideas, know-how, experience and dedication of our employees, in addition to numerous joint projects with our customers have combined to result in the mutual respect and loyalty that we all now enjoy and benefit from. Bhler is very proud to be recognised in the world market as one of the leading manufacturers of tool steels, high speed steels, special materials and powder metallurgy products. Furthermore, Bhler is now placed in a strong strategic position to realise the dreams and aspirations of all its stakeholders in the future. We know that our future lies in our ability to develop high-quality, value for money materials, tailored to our customers needs and delivered just in time. Only by exceeding our customers expectations will we be able to exceed our own.

SPECIAL MATERIALS
POWER GENERATION

Power materials
Meeting todays energy needs while at the same time being sensitive to the needs of the environment is one of the challenges we face. Energy-efficient and cost effective turbines, gas, steam or hydro-powered lay the foundation for environmentally friendly and economic energy forms. In turbines the materials used need to withstand the most extreme thermal and mechanical strain. The ends of the turbine blades reach the speed of sound and because of the calorific intensity, are red hot at the tips. The test over time doesnt get any harder than this. For such extreme conditions, BHLER has developed high temperature alloys, such as nickel and cobalt based alloys, which guarantee optimum material properties. The most renowned international builders of turbines feature amongst our customers.
