The group’s steel segment revenues reached approximately EUR 1 billion, while adjusted EBITDA (a-EBITDA) nearly doubled year-on-year, rising from EUR 39 million to EUR 77 million. This increase was driven by strong demand not only for standard products such as rebar but also for the SBQ (special bar quality) product group.
On the operational side, the group’s main producers, Sidenor and Stomana Industry, strengthened their leading positions in Southeast Europe with more than 70 years of experience. The year 2025 also stood out as a period of structural transformation. In this context, Erlikon S.A. merged with Sidenor, while Stomana Engineering merged with Stomana Industry, resulting in a leaner and more efficient operational structure.
In terms of investments, new spooler lines planned to be commissioned at the Sovel facilities by the end of 2026 and rolling mill modernizations carried out at Stomana Industry were key highlights. These investments are expected to reduce unit costs and improve product quality for high-precision sectors such as automotive and machinery manufacturing.
In the field of sustainability, Viohalco, which places the circular economy model at its core, strengthened its position in low-carbon steel production in Europe through its capability to produce using recycled scrap metal. In the 2025 report, energy efficiency projects and increased use of renewable energy were also among the prominent topics within the company’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.
Looking ahead to 2026, the company aims to sustain growth alongside the anticipated recovery in the European construction sector. Additionally, new trade regulations such as the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism are expected to support the company’s competitiveness. Viohalco plans to maintain its focus on sustainable profitability through cost discipline, technological innovation, and a customer-oriented approach.
