Innovation in Hygienic Steel Equipment
In the Netherlands, there is a noticeable shift toward the development of automated, hygienic steel equipment solutions. Companies are prioritizing safety, efficiency, and cleanliness in their equipment designs. The focus is on eliminating manual handling risks, particularly in industries requiring stringent hygiene standards, such as food and pharmaceuticals. The rise of stainless-steel lifts that automate vertical material movement reflects a growing demand for non-hydraulic, fully hygienic equipment, which offers both enhanced operational safety and space-saving benefits. This innovation is being driven by the need to address gaps in the market where suitable suppliers for such specialized equipment were previously unavailable, aligning with global sustainability and safety standards. These factors are intensifying the Netherlands steel market growth. For example, in January 2025, Dinnissen introduced an innovative stainless-steel lift designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and hygiene. Developed following a project in the US for a dietary supplement company, the lift automates the vertical movement of raw materials, eliminating safety risks associated with manual pallet placement. Fully made of stainless steel to meet strict hygiene standards, the lift was custom-built after the company found no suitable suppliers for a fully hygienic, non-hydraulic solution.
Shift to Hydrogen-Based Steel
The Netherlands is witnessing a significant shift toward cleaner steel production, with key industry players focusing on sustainable practices. A major development is the transition of steel production to hydrogen-based methods, which will significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Companies are increasingly aligning with this move, seeking to secure green steel for their operations. Steel, a major contributor to industrial emissions, is now a focal point for companies aiming to reduce their environmental footprint. The adoption of hydrogen-produced steel, as part of this shift, is gaining momentum, supporting industries in their commitment to sustainability while meeting stringent environmental targets. This approach offers a cleaner alternative to traditional steel manufacturing methods, fostering greener supply chains across sectors. For instance, in October 2024, Lindab and Tata Steel Nederland signed a memorandum of understanding to supply Zeremis green steel once the IJmuiden steelworks transitions to hydrogen-based production by 2030. Lindab, a major ventilation systems supplier, aims to reduce its environmental impact, with steel accounting for half of its emissions. This agreement highlights Lindab's commitment to sustainable practices by partnering with Tata Steel to secure environmentally friendly, hydrogen-produced steel for its products.
