Saarstahl AG, with its locations in Völklingen, Burbach and Neunkirchen along with Roheisengesellschaft Saar in Dillingen (Saarstahl and Dillinger Hütte each with 50 %) is one of the most important manufacturers of long products in the world. At Volklingen, it produces steel through the Basic Oxygen Process plant and rolling mills.

The first ironworks at Volklingen was opened in 1873 by the ironmaking engineer Julius Buch. Purchased in 1881 by the Rochling family, it was greatly expanded to become an integrated steel producer with the erection of blast furnaces, coke plant and rolling mills. In the 1975-1986 period, the steel crisis led to restructuring and consolidation of the industry. The blast furnaces were shut down, to eventually be preserved as a UNESCO world heritage site, and the company ultimately emerged as Saarstaal AG.
