Industry trends, development outlook

New requirements

The lifting and handling sector is evolving with growing demand for low-carbon solutions, lightweight products and standardization aimed at reducing the number of components.

SIFCOR supports this evolution through its mastery of forged steels, whose inherent strength and ability to accommodate complex geometries help reinforce systems while optimizing their efficiency.

The Group is committed every day to sustainability and social responsibility. It gives concrete form to its ambitions through the action plan deployed by the SIFCOR CSR Committee.

Solutions provided by SIFCOR

Forging expertise serving the strength of lifting and handling systems

Listening to its customers’ needs, SIFCOR leverages all the qualities of forged parts to offer high-performance, reliable product solutions:

  • parts that are inherently strong thanks to the grain flow created by the forging process
  • easier assembly of forged parts thanks to the weldability of the selected steels,
  • a reduction in the number of components thanks to our ability to produce forged parts with complex geometries.

All of the technical solutions provided by SIFCOR for the lifting and handling industry contribute to optimizing onboard components, ensuring lower system costs and, as a result, reducing their environmental footprint.
