KALLAS EDELSTAHL GmbH is a specialist in welded stainless steel tubes: conduit tubes according to the standard EN ISO 10217-7 TC1 or TC2 (heat exchanger tubes according to AD2000/W2), construction tubes (10296-2), tubes for the drinks industry (DIN 10357 or DIN 11850) and surface-treated tubes (amongst other things polished or highly polished tubes) - with their own prefabrication for additional services such as cutting fixed lengths, polishing or sharpening, foil-coating, embossing etc.

Reference

We have been loyal customers of LZ-prognose.de for many years.
Prior to the changeover of calculation periods - in particular for welded stainless steel tubes - we could still make forecasts about the development of alloy surcharges here in our own company. With the change mentioned above this was no longer possible, as reliably as LZ-prognose.de can deliver it. We are impressed by the quality of the forecasts and in this way can not only indicate the direction of the trend to our customers, but can also direct our own procurement department accordingly and can optimize it.

After switching from initially sufficient compact-service to the more extensive standard service, we now have access to all the relevant materials we need. Brilliant!

As (presumably) one of the first customers at that time we would like to say „Thank you for the good service!"

The alloy surcharge forecast is an interesting control element for us in determining prices and also in monitoring stock levels. As a rule we can detect trends more easily and can better estimate the risks during procurement. We have determined that we can really depend on the forecasts in general. And we say, keep up the good work.
