Switzerland's steel industry is in crisis: Financial difficulties and support prospects on hold

Switzerland's steel industry is reported to be facing a serious crisis and financial difficulties. As the country's steel industry struggles with significant financial difficulties, it has been announced that the government will not provide financial support to the sector.

Stahl Gerlafingen, one of the largest steel producers in Switzerland, was planning to stop profile production, as SteelRadar reported in recent weeks, "affected by the European Union's restrictions on flat rolled and plate products, even though it does not produce the related products".

In addition to the company, which has already closed one of its two production lines in the canton of Solothurn, Swiss Steel, one of the most important steel producers in Switzerland, is facing a similar situation. However, the company is reported to have restructuring plans of EUR 300 million, which will also enable the spin-off of assets. It is argued that the partial closure of the steel markets in the EU and the US, together with rising energy prices, is also negatively affecting companies in Switzerland.

Despite this difficult situation in Switzerland, the government has stated that they will not be able to provide any financial measures or support for the steel sector, adding that the financial support and measures to be taken are expensive and uncompetitive.
