SIDENHOL Project
Sidenhol is a sustainability and circular economy JV created by Sidenor and Enhol.
It is born from combining the industrial and circular economy expertise of Sidenor, with the pioneer renewable energy and processes knowledge of Enhol.
The project is created with the ambition of translating this experience to the whole industrial sector, aiming to maximize its environmental and economic value in its transition towards sustainability.
Sidenor's industrial expertise
Sidenor is a leader manufacturer of special purpose steel, with production centers in the Basque Country, Cantabria and Catalonia.
Its business model is a paradigm of circular economy, with 100% of its steel manufactured from metal scrap. Therefore, Sidenor's activity is based on recycling this type of waste, of which processes around nine hundred thousand tons per year.
The melting process generates several byproducts, some of which are managed by Sidenor itself thanks to solutions and tools developed by the corporate R&D department.
This department is one of the largest R&D centers among European special steel manufacturers, with resources dedicated to the development of new minimization and valorization alternatives for its byproducts.
