Duisburg, Germany, September 22, 2016 - Through subsidiary Becker Stahl-
Service GmbH, Klöckner & Co is building a service center at its Bönen
location in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, to process aluminum flat
products for the automotive and manufacturing industries in Europe.
Work on the slitting line, which is already under construction, is going
fully to plan, with completion still slated for next year. Construction of
a supplementary cut-to-length line is scheduled to start in early 2017. The
plant marking the biggest investment in Klöckner & Co's corporate history,
totaling some EUR35 million, is expected to reach its full 80,000 ton-per-

segment operating as Becker Aluminium Service GmbH sees the creation of up
to 80 new jobs overall.

with higher value-added products and services. Systematically expanding our
business with aluminum, which is a key material for the future, will play
an important part in attaining this goal", said
