Since the times of Ancient Rome more than 2,000 years ago, people have been working the marble quarries of Carrara, Italy, to excavate one the most highly prized types of marble in the world. When Michelangelo got his hands on it, he created his iconic statue of David. Today, earthmoving equipment manufacturer Lameter continues this long tradition, providing attachments for equipment used in Carrara and in other quarry and mining sites around the globe.

SSAB is a partner in the Gacha all-weather autonomous shuttle bus premiered in Helsinki last week. The autonomous minibus is the outcome of collaboration between Finnish robotics company Sensible 4 and the Japanese company MUJI. SSAB provided its expertise in special steels to the project by donating tubes made of Docol® steel for the bus frame to give the lightness required.

SSAB is providing new processing opportunities for customers to explore, with a laser cutting machine and state-of-the-art press brake featuring a patent pending bending technology. The new machines were presented during a unique event at the SSAB steel service center in Oborniki, Poland.
