About Us
From a one-man operation to a global market leader. From wood to steel. From product manufacturer to consulting and service-driven solution provider. The common thread: precision.
In the wake of the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century, the CORTS company evolved from a traditional craft business.
The Industrial Revolution was in full swing. CORTS laid the foundation for a steam engine, industrial manufacturing, and thus began its rise to becoming a global market leader.
In the course of post-World War II reconstruction, CORTS turned its focus to the emerging steel industry, which experienced rapid growth during the economic boom.
A logical step, based on decades of experience in increasing the efficiency of rolling mills: the founding of CORTS Engineering GmbH & Co. KG – a partner for engineering services that develops pragmatic solutions ranging from spare parts to turnkey systems.
From theory to practice – the objective of CORTS Engineering is to analyze and optimize the operating conditions for CORTS products.
Over time, CORTS has successfully completed turnkey refurbishments of numerous rolling mill housings and their associated backup and work roll components.
In doing so, we lay the foundation for efficient mill operation, high rolling quality, and minimized total cost of ownership (TCO).
Today, as a globally leading specialist in plant efficiency, we offer precision wear parts and guiding elements, along with solution-oriented engineering services focused on the stabilization and optimization of the rolling process.
From our headquarters in Remscheid, we serve customers around the world – primarily in the steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metal industries – with a strong focus on optimizing rolling processes and production.
