The ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi GmbH (ESF) is a Saxon company that steel products for the construction industry produces. ESF is a subsidiary of the Italian Feralpi Group , which operates a steel mill in the Saxon city of Riesa . In 2016, the Riesa steelworks, with a production volume of one million tons, was the tenth largest steel-producing company in Germany. The company exclusively produces electrical steel from old steel scrap. In addition to the facilities for crude steel production, there is also a rolling mill in Riesa, in which continuous cast billets are processed into bar steel. The end products include wire rod, welded wire mesh, spacers and reinforcement elements .
Although the ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi GmbH was only founded in 1992, the state-owned "iron construction and sectional steelworks" was already located on the site of today's steelworks in GDR times, which was almost completely dismantled after reunification. The history of the steelworks can be traced back to an ironworks from 1843 that produced puddle iron .
In the past, environmental pollution was criticized several times, which emanates from the Riesa steelworks. With the knowledge of the supervisory authorities, the valid limit value for the emission of dioxins has been exceeded for years.
Environmental associations claimed, among other things, that the direct vicinity of the steelworks was significantly more polluted by dioxins , furans and PCBs than indicated by the ESF. Most of these substances escape through openings in the roof of the plant.
