The merger between SMS Schloemann-Siemag AG and the Metallurgical Plant Division of Mannesmann Demag AG in 1999 to form SMS Demag AG has created a world leader in the construction of plants for the steel, aluminium and copper industries with a complete process chain extending from crude iron production right through steelmaking, continuous casting, rolling mill and tubemaking technologies up to processing and finishing lines for hot and cold strip. Within the structure of SMS Demag AG, SMS Meer was established from the former "Tube and Copper Plants" Business Unit of Mannesmann Demag Metallurgy. The Long Product Rolling Mills Division was integrated into SMS Meer with effect from 1st October 2001. As part of a reorganisation in 2003, SMS Meer became part of the Tube, Long Product and Forging Technology Business Area of the SMS group. With effect from 1st January 2005, the competence centre for continuous casting plants (TECHNICA) was integrated into the Mönchengladbach location. With effect from 1st June 2005, our subsidiary, S.I.M.A.C.
