Finnish-based Meconet is a Scandinavian leading producer of demanding metal components for multiple industry applications. The company strongly believes in cooperation with customers and suppliers and the ability to improve their businesses. 

Meconet will be the first Finnish company to utilize Zeremis Carbon Lite, CO2-reduced steel, in the production of components, contributing to the decarbonisation of their value chain.  

Juuso Virtanen, Procurement Director at Meconet says “For Meconet, this agreement on immediate sustainable actions is an important step in our decarbonisation journey, where we aim to lead. It also strengthens our excellent partnership with Tata Steel.” 
 

Both parties - Tata Steel and Meconet - recognise the importance of decarbonisation and sustainability, and we are delighted to be working together on our Zeremis journey. Ilpo Maaranen, General Manager of Tata Steel Naantali Steel Service Centre, says, “For us, this agreement confirms our hard work with our customers on this decarbonisation journey, taking responsibility for a better world."

Naantali’s Area Sales Manager Toni Vuolle, how do you see customers respond to the idea of green steel? ”Our customers are very interested in green steel and see that it will become a market standard on almost every industry. The growing demand for green steel must therefore be anticipated. At present, customers are looking for competitive edges and differentiation in the market with green steel rather than sustainable solutions.”  

And how do you see our customer Meconet combined with Zeremis? ”Meconet is in many ways a pioneer in environmental issues. A strong example is Meconet's own desire to promote the green transition as a subcontractor by choosing Zeremis Carbon Lite for its materials.”, Toni Vuolle continues.

Jaap Jan Aardenburg, Marketing Manager of Tata Steel, says: “Our expanding Zeremis portfolio is resonating strongly in the market and helping our customers reduce emissions now. The agreement with Meconet reinforces this.”
