Road Plates on Customer Request: Strong Partnership with Antwerpse Metalen N.V.
04.03.2026 | Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH
Over the past five years, the partnership between Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH and Antwerpse Metalen N.V. in the field of road plates has grown steadily. Together, we’re manufacturing more than just steel – we’re providing solutions for safe and quality road plates.

As a high-performing manufacturer of steel plates, Ilsenburger Grobblech contributes extensive capacity and expertise. We provide the basis for tailor-made solutions, which are processed into high-quality road plates at Antwerpse Metalen N.V.
Our contractual partner Antwerpse Metalen N.V. ensures the expert processing of steel plates at its own service center in Schoten, Belgium – including cutting, finishing, and customized services. The high-quality road plates are efficiently processed and delivered to the market in classic or CO₂-reduced versions, depending on customer requirements.
With physically CO2-reduced heavy plates, we support our customers in the decarbonization of their value chains and contribute to achieving their sustainability goals. As a subsidiary of Salzgitter AG, Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH will soon be sourcing CO2-reduced slabs from the SALCOS® transformation program, which aims to ensure virtually CO2-free steel production by around 2033. Decarbonized heavy plates are already available today from the electric arc furnace route made of scrap-based electric steel.
The cooperation with our business partner Antwerpse Metalen N.V. represents a true win-win for both sides:
- Ilsenburger Grobblech ensures consistent, reliable production
- Antwerpse Metalen delivers customized products and customer-focused service
Together we’re providing solutions for safe and quality road plates - and we’re just getting started.
