An important name-change has taken place in our company: Since March 2009 SMS Demag has been trading worldwide under its new name of SMS Siemag.

The roots of the Weiss family company go back over 130 years. From a forge located near Siegen, Germany,the company Siemag (Siegener Maschinenbau AG) evolved and grew over several generations, in particular under the leadership of Bernhard Weiss. Over the last decades, Heinrich Weiss has developed the company into a worldwide, leading group that covers the entire process chain in metallurgical plant construction including electrical systems, automation and customer service. Steady integration of leading names such as Schloemann, Concast, MAN–GHH and Demag has played a key role.

For the last three years, all SMS group company shares have been solely owned by the Weiss family. The loyalty that the family holds to the company regarding continuity and reliability is emphasized by returning from the name of SMS Demag AG, to the traditional name of SMS Siemag AG.

Hereby SMS Siemag stands for technical innovation, stability, continuity and reliability. We have been sworn to these values for four generations. In the development of metallurgical plant and rolling mill technology, together with SMS Meer and SMS Concast we are building a bridge into the future – with short chains of command and competitive solutions in the service of our customers.
