HISTORY

AB Järnsida was founded in 1950 by C. W. Werner and Chris Wigelius and was until the late 70´s a major supplier of heavy plates and profiles from the Danish Stålvalseværket and Norrbotten Ironworks to the Swedish shipyards. After the shipbuilding crisis the company developed sales towards the Swedish steel wholesalers and large end-users of steel plates.

Since the mid 80's the company is owned and operated by Frederik Werner and today AB Järnsida is the second largest heavy plate supplier in Sweden with all NLKM Europe's product portfolio in the back.

The market has extended to cover also Finland, where ship deliveries of plate to the largest wholesalers is on a regular basis.

Apart from NLMK's products AB Järnsida deliver cold drawn steel bars and the company has a prefabrication section where we on behalf of our customers prefabricate steel plates through a wide network of sub suppliers.
