This acquisition further strengthens ANDRITZ’s position as a comprehensive solutions provider for steel processing, in particular electrical steel.
With the integration of Sanzheng, ANDRITZ now offers a complete suite of induction heating technologies, further enhancing its competitiveness in international markets. The expanded offering strengthens the group’s ability to deliver full-line solutions for electrical steel processing, galvanizing, annealing, and forging.
Guido Burgel, Senior Vice President, Metals Processing at ANDRITZ, says: “This acquisition perfectly supports our goal of being the leading solution provider for the downstream steel industry. Combining Sanzheng’s proven induction technology with our global reach, process know-how, and service capabilities allows us to deliver more comprehensive, efficient, and sustainable solutions – induction heating offers significant potential to reduce mills’ carbon footprint.”
Sanzheng employs more than 130 specialists in research and development, product design, and manufacturing, and generates annual revenues of around 30 million euros. The company’s induction strip heating, wire heating, and high-frequency welding technologies are widely used in the metal industry as well as in other industries such as papermaking, automotive, machinery, and building materials.
Following the transaction, which was concluded in December 2025, Sanzheng will continue to operate under its existing name and management structure, ensuring business continuity for customers and partners.
