KS Service Center was the first steel service centre in The Netherlands to buy our Magnelis® steel which was produced using the XCarb® recycled and renewably produced route.
Moreover, two years ago, KS Service Center also took a bold step toward transforming its logistics operations. Today, that vision has become reality: 15,000 tonnes of ArcelorMittal steel have been delivered using electric trucks. With 750 deliveries now completed by electric trucks, it sets a new benchmark for environmentally responsible transport in the steel industry.
90 tonnes of CO₂e saved.
Thanks to the use of electric trucks on the Belgium - Netherlands route from KS Service Center to ArcelorMittal Gent, ArcelorMittal has achieved a certification of total CO₂e savings of 89.89 tonnes from November 2023 to end 2024.
And this is just the beginning.
With continued investment in sustainable logistics and expanding partnerships, more milestones are expected in 2025 - further reinforcing the commitment to decarbonising our steel supply chain and driving meaningful change across the industry.
“It’s always a beautiful moment to see our electric trucks arrive - it reminds me that, as KS Service Center, we are truly contributing to a more sustainable supply chain. With ten deliveries per week, we are taking clear and concrete steps toward a more sustainable steel industry. Every trip we make with an electric truck means less emissions and less environmental impact, ensuring that not only our product, but also its delivery, is future proof. In this way, we actively contribute to a more sustainable logistics chain in the Benelux.”
- Corne Rottier, Managing director KS Service Center
KS Service Center continues to inspire both customers and partners to invest in a more sustainable economy - proving that innovation and responsibility can go hand in hand.
At ArcelorMittal, we are fully committed to supporting our partners in building a more sustainable future. Collaborations like the one with KS Service Center demonstrate how shared ambition and innovation can drive meaningful progress across the steel supply chain.

KS Service Center originated from the parent company KS Profiel, founded in 1975. In order to obtain purchasing advantage for the profiles for its clients, the company acquired its own slitter in 2005. This immediately enhanced the delivery times. Overcapacity of the slitter is quickly used for other steel processing companies.
