Europe

Stemcor’s operations in Europe primarily focus on the distribution and stockholding areas of the business, with our office in Zug, Switzerland providing a trading coordination function across Europe.

Distribution

Our sales and distribution offices throughout Europe act as intermediaries between our international network and locally based stockholders, service centres and large end users. Most of these offices are relatively small – between 5 and 15 staff – and if recruiting typically require experienced sales/trading staff or trading support staff, particularly in an accounting related capacity.

Stockholding and Processing

Stemcor’s stockholding and service centre units primarily meet the needs of customers who purchase in smaller quantities for prompt delivery. In Europe these activities are centred around Germany where we have 5 companies:

• WSK Stahlhandels has offices in Ketsch and Nuernberg and has approximately 30 staff. It was acquired in 2004.
• Stemcor Flachstahl has offices in Duesseldorf, Stuttgart and Chemnitz and employs 50 people. Originally called Schmolz + Bickenbach Flachstahl GmbH, it was acquired by the Stemcor Group in 2006.
• S&W RohrTech is one of our smaller offices, based in Munich and employing 5 staff.
• Stemcor Automotive & Processing is one of our most recent acquisitions, being purchased in 2009. It’s office is also located in Duesseldorf, employing 6 people.
• OKS Otto Knauf is based in Iserlohn and employs approximately 30 people. As with Schmolz + Bickenbach Flachstahl GmBH, Otto Knauf Stahl GmbH was also acquired in 2006.

For vacancies in these business units including both office and warehouse/production opportunities, please see their separate websites.

Zug, Switzerland

Our office in Zug acts both as an extension of head office in London, providing a home for elements of our business support functions such as IT and Treasury, and acts as a coordinator of imports into Europe through our network of European offices.

As a result there are opportunities for both trading and trading support staff as well as business support functions such as IT, Treasury, Accounting Administration and Legal. They also run a graduate hiring programme on an adhoc basis.
