History
SSAB was formed in 1978 through the merger of three steelworks: Domnarvets Järnverk in Borlänge, Oxelösunds Järnverk, and Norrbottens Järnverk in Luleå. Since then, the group has successfully cultivated a niche market for high strength steel.

In July 2007, SSAB acquired the North American steel company IPSCO Inc., and in 2008, SSAB divested the tubular operations within the IPSCO Division.
