What Abraservice does

Abraservice is a Saint-Marcel, France-headquartered specialist in the supply, processing, and fabrication of wear-resistant and high-strength steels, operating 16 processing centers and 27 sales offices across 13 countries in Europe and North America. The company distributes and converts premium SSAB-licensed steel grades — including Hardox wear plate, Duroxite chromium carbide overlays, ROC Mn manganese steel, Strenx, Toolox, Imex, and COR-TEN — into custom-engineered wear parts such as cutting edges, screens, pins, cast wear parts, and complete fabricated assemblies (chutes, hoppers, cyclones, buckets, drums). Supporting capabilities include precision cutting (laser, plasma, flame, water jet), CNC machining, bending, welding, 3D scanning, and reverse engineering, marketed under the Abraservice engineering services line.

Abraservice sells to industrial customers in eight primary verticals — recycling, mining and quarrying, cement, wood and forestry, metal industry, energy, asphalt plants, and yellow goods/road construction — using a quote-based, project-driven pricing model with custom-engineered solutions. The UK centers (England and Scotland) are certified members of the Hardox Wearparts global network, providing brand and channel credibility. The Wear IQ digital platform extends the offering into subscription-based maintenance, inventory, and field-reporting software for technicians and maintenance managers. The company is a privately held, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sweden's SSAB Group (SSAB AB, reg. no. 556016-3429), which provides capital and the upstream steel supply relationship. Abraservice was founded around 1980 and employs 101–250 people, with ISO 9001:2015 certifications in place across UK operations.

Core offering

Abraservice specializes in the supply and processing of wear-resistant and high-strength steels (Hardox, Duroxite, Strenx, Toolox, ROC Mn, Imex, COR-TEN) for industrial customers. The company sells both off-the-shelf and custom-manufactured wear parts (cutting edges, screens, pins, cast components) and provides value-added services including precision cutting, CNC machining, welding, fabrication, reverse engineering, and 3D scanning, along with the proprietary Wear IQ digital maintenance management platform.

Product overview

Abraservice offers a comprehensive portfolio of wear-resistant steel materials and fabricated wear parts across two main categories: branded steel products and digital services. The steel portfolio includes Hardox® wear plate (grades 400-600, HiAce, HiTuf, HiTemp, Extreme), Duroxite® chromium carbide overlay products, ROC™ Mn manganese steel, Toolox® engineering/tool steel, Strenx® high-strength performance steel, Imex high-strength steels, COR-TEN® weathering steel, plus Hardox® and Toolox® round bars and tubes/pipe — all sourced from SSAB and partner brands. Supporting the materials are processing services (cutting, machining, welding, fabrication) and engineering services (reverse engineering, 3D scanning, wear analysis), plus the Wear IQ digital platform for wear parts management and tracking. Key product lines include cutting edges, Abra Pins, screens, and cast wear parts, all manufactured from the premium steel grades to extend service life in extreme abrasion, impact and high-temperature environments.
