EFF Rolls Sec­tion gath­ers in Frank­furt to shape the future of Europe’s steel and metals industry

The 17h Octo­ber 2025, the EFF — European Foundry Fed­er­a­tion gathered in Frank­furt for the annual Rolls Sec­tion Meet­ing, bring­ing together experts from seven com­pan­ies across Aus­tria, Ger­many, Bel­gium and France.

The Rolls sec­tor is at the heart of Europe’s steel and metals value chain, pro­du­cing high-per­form­ance com­pon­ents that enable steel­mak­ing, energy gen­er­a­tion and advanced manufacturing.

As EFF Sec­ret­ary Gen­eral Ain­hoa Ond­ar­za­bal high­lighted, the strength of this group lies in its open­ness, col­lab­or­a­tion and shared com­mit­ment to tack­ling struc­tural, envir­on­mental and mar­ket challenges.

The Rolls Sec­tion also plays a key role in EFF’s advocacy in Brus­sels, help­ing ensure that foundries — and the Rolls industry in par­tic­u­lar — are recog­nised in European indus­trial, trade and sus­tain­ab­il­ity policies under the Steel & Metals Action Plan.
