voestalpine - Werksführung

Follow the path of pig iron on safe visitor paths: from the breathtaking moment when the blast furnace is tapped, over the fascinating pouring of steel into blocks to the gigantic rolling of the 120-meter-long rails for use around the globe.

Learn more about the creation, production processes, diverse opportunities, and innovations at the Donawitz location – at the blast furnace, steelworks, and rail mill.

Due to construction activities for our green electricity-operated electric arc furnace, we are unfortunately unable to offer all modules of our factory tours temporarily.

Starting in 2027, the electric arc furnace in Donawitz will be commissioned, marking an important milestone for greentec steel – Austria's largest climate protection program.

Therefore, until the end of 2025, the module "Steelworks" is not bookable and the module "Blast Furnace" is only available with restrictions.

Thank you for your understanding.
