BOHLER-UDDEHOLM Precision Strip  is well known in Sweden and is also known by many US Steel producers.  Then why does Swedish steel have such an important role in the specialty steel strip business in North America?  During this presentation they will present some of the application areas for Swedish Precision strip along with the reasons why they are choosen over other producers.
