Sidenor’s products meet the most demanding of the customers needs

and stand out for their excellent quality, high reliability and particularly innovative features.

The production facilities are continually being upgraded through an extensive long-term investment

plan exceeding EUR 860 million, for the last 15 years.

Stages of development 1962 - 2017

In 1962 Sidenor was established as Viohalco - Sanitas. Today Sidenor is a vertically integrated Group of companies with production plants in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, FY-ROM and Australia.

1962

The establishment in Southeast Europe started in 2001 with the acquisition of the Bulgarian plant Stomana Industry, in which Sidenor Group makes continual investments aiming to increase its production capacity, improve quality, decrease production costs and also manufacture high added value products.

2001

In 1999, Sovel started production at its rolling mill and in the second half of 2001 the steel melting plant.

1999

In 2006, Sidenor Group strengthened even further its presence in the Balkan market by setting up Dojran Steel in FYROM, which runs a long steel products and mesh plant, mainly for the markets of FYROM and Kosovo.

2006

From 2007 to 2011 a wide commer-cial network is developed in Serbia (Sidebalk Steel), Albania (Sideral Steel) and Romania (Siderom Steel) in order to fully meet the needs of the local markets and the wider area.

2007 - 2011

As part of Sidenor's ongoing in-vestment plan to achieve enhanced quality and product innovations, the installation of the new Vacuum Degasser - VD was successfully completed at the Stomana Industry plant in Bulgaria and also the con-struction and the operation of an induction furnace for the reheat-ing of billets at the Sidenor and Sovel production plants.Major rolling mill revamping in Dojran Steel plant for the pro- duction of a wide range of mer-chant bars.
