Your requirements are our focus

As one of the global leading producers of special pig iron, DK constantly produces 100 different types of pig iron. With doing so we want to deliver optimal results to our customers, which is why every single step is precisely monitored. The grade classification of the pig iron occurs through the use of an exact analysis by our own lab during the run-off of the blast furnace. Every run-off can be precisely traced back and the analysis can be made available as well on request. After the completion of the pig iron pigs, they are either kept in stock or delivered directly to the customers. For this reason, 30 standard types are available at DK any time and in addition we offer further qualities and special grades on request.
