The market that launched Metallus.

Our customers trust our legacy.

The roots of Metallus date back to the early 1900s, when we began manufacturing bearings and the steel that goes into them. Today, we are a leading engineered automotive steel supplier for power transfer applications in many light vehicles, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, electric vehicles, and high-performance racing vehicles. Millions of motorists and vehicle operators depend on our high-quality steel every day in the engine, transmission, and driveline components of their vehicles. Our steel is also found in gears, crankshafts, bearings, hubs, axles, constant velocity joints, shafts, and sleeves.

The customers who count on us know that our steel is clean and consistently manufactured with every order. We offer more than 500 grades of steel, and we innovate to solve problems and help our customers overcome the hardest challenges. In the automotive market, that means producing the parts that keep the world moving.

Why Metallus?

From Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) to Electric and everything in between, today’s automotive platform options have grown over the years. Options now include variants of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Hybrid (Internal Combustion Engine + Battery) and traditional ICE. While these options may seem complicated, Metallus has proven material solutions for critical components in all of these growing platforms.
