Gestamp Partners with Hydnum Steel to Produce Low-Emission Steels
October 10, 2025Comments
Automotive-parts supplier Gestamp has signed an agreement with metals producer Hydnum Steel to develop clean steel produced with renewable energy and green hydrogen for the manufacturing of automotive components. Under the terms of the partnership, Gestamp—through its specialized metal-recycling subsidiary Gescrap—will supply high-quality steel scrap from stamping processes to Hydnum Steel, which will then use renewable energy and green hydrogen to produce ultra-low CO₂-emission steel.
The agreement also includes technical collaboration to develop steel grades that meet the automotive industry’s demanding standards in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties, thickness and finish. Gestamp will have priority access to these low-emission steels for the production of advanced metal components, further supporting the transition to sustainable mobility.
The initiative aligns with Gestamp’s decarbonization strategy, which emphasizes the use of more sustainable raw materials, material recycling, and partnerships with strategic allies to drive cleaner and more efficient mobility.
For Hydnum Steel, the extensive use of scrap metal as a raw material is central to applying circular economy principles to its production model. Its plant in Puertollano, Spain, will be the first of its kind in the Iberian Peninsula, operating with an electric arc furnace powered exclusively by renewable energy.
