In this interview from Coiltech Augsburg, Marcel Hilgers, General Manager at thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel Solutions, discusses the changing role of grain-oriented electrical steel in a transformer market defined by strong demand, supply chain pressure, and capacity expansion. He explains why thyssenkrupp has launched a new solutions-focused set-up aimed at helping transformer manufacturers optimise their GOES value chain and free up space, capital, and workforce for core transformer activities. Hilgers also reflects on ongoing investments in production and green steel transformation, the strategic importance of European GOES supply, and why centralisation, efficiency, and reliability will become even more critical in the years ahead.
