Metallurgy Activities
 
The iron ore and steel industry are at the origin of the Moselle region. With more than 30,000 people in Moselle, it is the largest employer. As a transversal activity, it gathers manufacturers and automobile equipment suppliers as well as railway, and railroad companies working for the construction industry or house facilities (VIESMANN) in addition to many other activities.


In Moselle, the metal industry is represented from end to end. Starting with the iron and steel industry to the first processing (drawing, shaping, surface treatment) to the finished product (smelting , forging, stamping, folding, welding, turning, milling, gears cutting, assembling, bolts or screw manufacturing, public facilities, alternators, cylinders, industrial furnaces, engine and special engine)

Very few if any "clock industry parts" (small springs and other small clock industry parts) or "connector industry parts" are manufactured in Moselle.
   
Well-recognized metallurgic groups are represented:

- ARCELOR, ISPAT, CORUS in the steel industry,
- LES BRONZES D’INDUSTRIE in the smelting work industry (centrifuge),
- Automatic aluminum smelting work for the automotive industry
- Forging mill (ASCOFORGE) and stamping,
- Surfacing (galvanization, electro-zing coverage, glazing…)

   
Within this sector, SMBs occupy all the segments of co-treatment maintenance. Companies like PRECILOR, STERI, and PONTICELLI, are able to deal with mechanics and chemistry maintenance sites.
   
Special machine manufacturing holds a particular place in Moselle with more than 40 companies employing more than 2,000 employees.
   
This sector gathers subsidiary companies of major groups specializing in the manufacturing of special machines in mining materials, milling, various convoying systems and SMBs of 10 to 30 people specialized in the manufacturing of special machines for the iron and steel industry or the automotive sector
   
Thanks to targeted training activities and successful marketing programs, a state-region program, spread out over several years, was developed to promote this activity.
The special machine-manufacturing sector has the most complete program. From engine operators to engineers, it combines on-the-job training and national education. Furthermore, at the time of the transformation of its activities, the Moselle region decided to emphasize technical trainings. Bachelor degrees are thus commonplace and the areas of study are very broad. With the cooperation of companies, not only through on-the-job training programs and the national education system the framework of sponsorships is very successful. .
Graduate education promoting bi-national trainings as well as part-time trainings is emphasized with four engineering schools.
   
In the field of public research, laboratories of the faculty of science, IUT, ENSAM, and ENIM make the Moselle region one of the finest sites of research in industrial processing. The Welding Institute in Thionville-Yutz, in addition to all technologies of welding, including the largest carbon-welding robot in the world, has laboratories and equipment to carry out all the mechanical tests of validation and ratification. In the private research sector, IRSID, the first iron and steel European research center, gathered its research on processes and sheet metal for the automobile sector in the Moselle region.
