CRM, Metallurgy Research Centre

CRM is a non-profit-making association that was created by the Belgian steel industry. An additional CRM laboratory, dedicated to rolling and thermal treatments was created in 1995 on the campus of Ghent University, in Zwijnaarde. AC&CS was created in 1990 as the local R&D centre of Cockerill-Sambre and was installed nearby CRM facilities. It was later integrated with Cockerill-Sambre into the ArcelorMittal group. In 2011, all the research activities and general services of CRM have been combined with those of AC&CS into the CRM Group.  The CRM Group now achieves a critical size with unique and complementary competencies by pooling the talents and the assets of these two recognised research labs, one in metallurgical processes and the other in complex metallic products and solutions. We have been entrusted with the mission of creating value for our Members through innovation in metallic products, metallic solutions and associated production processes.
Our technical and R&D services are also available to external companies, with a special focus on services to SMEs and towards European, Belgian and regional economies.
