“Green steel” for KIPP extension

The HEINRICH KIPP WERK is expanding logistics at its headquarters in Sulz am Neckar. The special feature: The project only uses CO2-neutral reinforcing steel from SÜLZLE Stahlpartner from Rosenfeld. The new building is therefore a sustainable investment in the future in two senses. „We rely on long-term growth“, emphasizes Nicolas Kipp, Managing Director of KIPP. „We are once again committed to sustainable action and support climate protection with CO2-neutral steel.“

With a total area of 4,300 m2, the project is a showcase construction project: modern logistics technology and sustainable building materials help to protect the environment. Around 400 tons „green steel“ will be delivered by SÜLZLE Stahlpartner from Rosenfeld for the extension by June 2021. KIPP compensates for CO2 pollution in steel production by making a climate protection contribution per ton of reinforcing steel delivered. This is confirmed by a document that Heinrich Sülzle handed over to the builders Nicolas and Heinrich Kipp. The contribution will support projects in emerging and developing countries. „Steel is also the recycling world champion because it can be processed again and again without loss of quality. Hardly any other building material represents such sustainability“, said Heinrich Sülzle, managing partner of the SÜLZLE Group, when handing over the documents. „We are pleased about the increasing demand for „green steel“ and congratulate the KIPP company on its promising extension“.
