ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products
Philippe Baur, CEO of LANZ
“Lower carbon and more sustainable solutions are becoming increasingly important to our customers and wholesale partners,” says Philippe Baur, CEO of LANZ, “as companies and public bodies seek more sustainable standards in their construction and infrastructure projects. ArcelorMittal’s innovative steel portfolio and collaborative approach have helped us to address these requirements, which has resulted in our launch of EcoShield®.”
In September 2024 LANZ formally launched its new EcoShield® product portfolio based entirely on ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products’ Magnelis® steel offering.
Philippe Baur explains: “Magnelis® has a unique self-healing property that repairs cut edges through the migration of corrosion products formed from the Zn-Al-Mg coating. This brings longer life and robustness to LANZ’s cable trays, and means that its products can be cut and assembled on site by contractors without the need for zinc reapplication by dipping or spraying. Moreover, we are very happy with the product’s behaviour during processing. Punching, bending, cutting - everything runs smoothly.”
LANZ was originally introduced to ArcelorMittal's products through mutual partner SSC Debrunner Metallservice AG, who has played an important part in LANZ transitioning to Magnelis® steel applications since 2019.

“Magnelis® is clearly a great solution for LANZ’s customers,” says Joel Leutwiler, Key Account Manager at Debrunner Metallservice. “It offers them a more resilient and more sustainable solution, that has now been packaged up into their exciting new EcoShield® portfolio. We are working closely with LANZ and ArcelorMittal’s R&D teams to develop further advances and applications for Magnelis®.”
Philippe Baur adds: “In addition to this strong partnership to foster innovation, we truly appreciate the excellent technical, logistical and marketing support from Debrunner Metallservice and ArcelorMittal.”
