EIRON Eisenerz und Rohstoff GmbH
was founded in 1987 by Mr. D. Langhorst, the
Managing Director of the German based
trading house Eisenerzgesellschaft mbH - a
subsidiary of the multi-national
Metallgesellschaft.
Since EIRON’s foundation stable and
long-term relationships to clients and
suppliers have been essential for the
company. EIRON was between 1987 and 1997
appointed exclusive European sales agent for
Australian based Hamersley Iron PTY Ltd.
(today part of the Rio Tinto Group).
EIRON’s client portfolio includes:
Bethlehem
Steel, Corus Group, Dillinger Hütte, ERDEMIR, Hangzhou Iron and
Steel Group,
Hebei Iron
and Steel Group, Hoagoovens, Huettenwerke
Krupp Mannesmann GmbH, Ilva Group, Klöckner, Nippon Steel, NKK, Thyssen Krupp Stahl AG, Stahlwerke
Bremen, Salzgitter Flachstahl,
Saarstahl,
Shandog Laiwu,
Usinor,
Völklinger Hütte and
VoestAlpine.
In 1997 Mr. S. Langhorst
took over the company from his father and
became Managing Director. Under his
leadership EIRON has changed the direction
of its core activities, becoming principal
to many of its clients; a welcomed decision
which has seen EIRON expand the spectrum of
its activities to include South America,
Asia and the Far East.
Strategic long term supply agreements with
various Latin American based suppliers,
including C.V.G Ferrominera Orinoco C.A.,
brought about a significant expansion in the
demand for EIRON’s products, particularly in
China and the Far East.
In order to provide for the significant
expansion, EIRON expanded its global
operations significantly, with the opening
of several satellite offices to maintain the
high levels of service and customer support
to its clients:
- Brazil
- China
- Malaysia
- Mexico
- Turkey
- Venezuela
Since its foundation
EIRON has sold approximately 170 million
metric tonnes worldwide.
