SSAB and cable support manufacturer Meka Pro Oy have agreed on deliveries of fossil-free steel that will be used to manufacture cable management systems, such as cable ladders and cable trays.
As part of the agreement signed by SSAB and Meka Pro Oy, the latter will receive small batches of steel produced virtually without carbon dioxide emissions from 2026. The volumes will increase annually as SSAB’s fossil-free production capacity grows. By using fossil-free steel, Meka Pro Oy will be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in these products by up to 95%, claims SSAB. The delivery of fossil-free steel is another step in MEKA’s investment in the solar product family, which includes onshore installation systems for solar power plants.
