In 2024 Swegon moved into serial production with XCarb® Magnelis® steel for air handling units produced in Kvänum, Sweden. The Group has been rolling out XCarb® steel across its wider product range including roof hoods, wall hoods, louvres, filter cabinets, attenuators, dampers and chilled beams. ArcelorMittal’s Global R&D team worked closely with Swegon on the initial integration of the new steel material into their manual and automatic processing machines.
“Swegon’s commitment to low carbon materials is central to reducing the embodied carbon footprint of our products and strengthening our contribution to a more circular economy,” comments Mirko Sauvan, Group Sustainability Director, Swegon Group.
Magnelis® is a premium, highly durable metallic coated steel produced by ArcelorMittal, offering superior corrosion resistance to conventional galvanised steel for harsh environments, and is ideal for a range of HVAC systems. XCarb® recycled and renewably produced Magnelis® has an approximately 70% lower CO2 footprint compared with Magnelis® produced via the conventional blast furnace route.
"We are very pleased with the cooperation between Swegon and ArcelorMittal that has enabled us to continue to lower our global warming potential impact for several product groups,” says Robert Siverby, Procurement Director, Configurable AHU at Swegon.
Swegon is contributing to a more resource-efficient and circular construction industry with the launch, in early 2026, of the next-generation GOLD/SILVER air handling units. Designed to meet rising HVAC and building-sector demands, over 70% of the total steel weight is now comprised of recycled steel and almost 60% of the total material weight is recycled material.
“We are delighted to have been partnering with Swegon over the last few years on developing significantly lower carbon products in the HVAC market. We have a like-minded approach to sustainability,” added Jonas Stenbeck, Account Manager, ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products.
