METALS
EXCELLENCE

The name Primetals Technologies

embodies the combined strengths
of the two company partners,
Mitsubishi-Hitachi Metals Machinery
and Siemens VAI Metals Technologies.
It is a combination of the words
prime, metals and technologies.
Prime stands for the highest quality,
metals is our passion and technologies
is our strength. Primetals Technologies
thus underlines our position as
the preeminent global authority
in metals technologies and reflects
our commitment to deliver the most
advanced technologies to produce
the highest-quality metals.

The logo circle symbolizes the

forging of two great companies into
a single, unified entity. The orange
color signifies the temperature at
which liquid steel becomes solid steel
– the point where the outstanding
technological strengths of Siemens
VAI Metals Technologies in the liquid
phase meet the rolling and processing
excellence of Mitsubishi-Hitachi Metals
Machinery in the solid phase.
The split circle at an angle indicates
that we are moving forward and
are focused on the future.

The new company name and logo

emphasize our passion for metals,
our dedication to excellence
