KOCKS rolled® steel owes its reputation for quality and reliability to seven decades of experience, know-how and innovative flair that went before! For more than 70 years KOCKS has stood for highest quality in the steel industry. KOCKS customers benefit from a unique KOCKS knowledge in 3‑roll technology for special bar quality (SBQ) and tube production. Dr. Friedrich Kocks, the grandfather of our chairman Ali Bindernagel, was a tinkerer with a strong belief in engineering as a way of making things better. His main innovation took form early in the company‘s history: the idea of applying 3‑roll technology to forming tube as well as wire rod and bar. This so-called ‘Generation 0’ was the foundation for the subsequent major breakthroughs in precision sizing technology. With this technology he created a solution that increases the quality of the rolled product and improves efficiency while reducing costs. It is to this day referred to as ‘industry standard’. It was quickly established that the rolling process itself had an exceptional influence on the metallurgical and microstructure properties of the bar. This is where KOCKS was particularly active in developing innovative processes. For decades now the constancy of progress and new developments has made KOCKS a byword for excellence in the SBQ and seamless tube market, where quality standards are constantly being tightened – driven in part by the stringent requirements of the automotive industry.
