COGNOR SA HSJ Branch in Stalowa Wola is one of the leading producers of specialist and alloy steels in Poland.

The HSJ Branch is also of significant importance for the circular economy as the Company’s production is based on scrap metal recycling. The steel scrap metal is melted in the electric arc furnace (EAF) to a liquid form and, once it is cleaned and enriched with adequate alloy additives, it acquires steel properties. Annually the HSJ produces about 250 different steel grades and their variations using the continuous casting machine (COS) and in the ingot mould. The HSJ executes numerous investment projects, especially machinery modernization, production safety and quality conditions enhancement resulting in introducing new and improving the existing production processes to ensure a higher plant production capacity.
