The origins of Celsa
In the 1960’s, when the steel sector was booming thanks to the construction industry, Francesc Rubiralta Vilaseca, together with his brother Josep Maria, created the “Spanish Rolling Company”, “Española de Laminación SA”, Celsa; dedicated to the manufacture of corrugated steel.
Already at the forefront of innovation, in 1977 Celsa commissioned its first electric arc furnace in Sant Andreu de la Barca (Barcelona), which allowed it to considerably increase production and market share. The decision of Celsa at that time to produce steel by recycling scrap was going to be key in terms of respect for the environment, as they were aware from their origins that they had to be part of the solution to the systematic risks to the planet.
Over the years, it has become a benchmark for international steel, with the acquisition of a large number of companies, a development focused on product diversification along with its vertical integration, upstream and downstream.
Celsa today, leader in the transformation of the steel industry
The purpose of Celsa is to give infinite lives to finite resources. By choosing from its inception to produce steel with electric arc furnaces (recycling scrap) instead of blast furnaces. Celsa has opted for a production model focused on sustainable development. In fact, today, Celsa is already a company with low CO2 emissions and the first producer of circular steel in Europe.
However, far from settling for this, Celsa, whose vision is to lead the generation of circular production chains to contribute to the transition towards a positive impact economy, has set the following main objectives: by 2030, reduce CO2 emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 50% and reach 98% circularity, and by 2050, be a “Net Positive” company.
To achieve this, Celsa continues to work on innovative projects in the areas of energy and emissions, circularity, digitization and people. 23+ million euros are invested each year in R&D.
