SSAB and Italian crane manufacturer FASSI have reached an agreement for future deliveries of SSAB ZeroTM steel produced with virtually zero fossil carbon emissions.
FASSI, one of the world’s largest loader crane manufacturers which also incorporate Cranab AB, has pioneered the use of advanced structural steels in cranes. With SSAB’s Strenx® steel, Fassi has added lifting power, reduced weight and extended reach for their heavy-duty cranes. Now SSAB and FASSI expand their long-running partnership to include future deliveries of SSAB Fossil-freeTM steel and SSAB ZeroTM. By doing this, Fassi will be able to bring to market a new generation of cranes with radically reduced CO2 footprint.

Sustainability and innovation at the heart of cooperation
Per Elfgren, Executive Vice President of SSAB Special Steels, says that he is looking forward to deepening the cooperation with Fassi.
“We are proud to be able to deliver first-class high-strength steel with a significantly lower carbon footprint than before. SSAB collaborates with leading companies that share our passion for innovation, sustainability and advanced products.”
Giovanni Fassi, CEO of Fassi, emphasizes the importance of sustainable development in the company’s operations:
“Innovation is a reflection of the future. And there is no future without sustainable development. For this reason, we are enthusiastic and determined to work with SSAB to develop our future cranes.”
Towards fossil-free steel production
Conventional steel production is one of the world’s largest sources of CO2 emissions, accounting for about 7% of global emissions. SSAB has invested in new production technologies to reduce the climate impact of steelmaking.
SSAB ZeroTM steel is made from recycled steel using fossil-free electricity and biogas. This steel has been on the market since 2023. In addition, SSAB is developing fossil-free steel using HYBRIT® technology, which uses hydrogen and fossil-free energy instead of coal. This innovation enables almost emission-free steel production.
SSAB produced the world’s first fossil-free steel with HYBRIT® technology in 2021 and has since made several pilot deliveries to customers in various industries.
Fassi: A pioneer in innovation
Fassi is known for its investment in sustainable development and future lifting solutions. The company has established an innovation center where an entire team
focuses on the design, testing and development of new crane technologies. Thanks to the cooperation with SSAB, Fassi will be able to better meet future environmental requirements and the needs of its customers.
This partnership is a significant step towards a low-carbon industry and more sustainable crane solutions. The collaboration between SSAB and Fass shows how leading companies can join forces to combat climate change and deliver innovative solutions to future challenges.
