“With these three new features, we have reacted to the users’ wishes. The Packaging Steel App now offers more valuable information around packaging steel, enables more interaction and quicker access to our certificates,” says Christian Pürschel, Head of Communications and Market Development at Germany’s only manufacturer of packaging steel.
The “Multi-Calculator” interactively calculates, for example, the weight of 100 sheets or the tonnage of 100 square meters of coil material based on the dimensions and the thickness of the packaging steel entered by the user. With the possibility of performing calculations on the smartphone in a quick and uncomplicated manner, manufacturers of steel cans and tops get a practical added value for their everyday work.
Overview of available packaging steel grades and innovations
The Packaging Steel App has been available on the app stores for a year and gives the users an overview of all available packaging steel types by thyssenkrupp, and their respective specifications. The app also focuses on current innovations from the world’s largest production site for packaging steel – e.g. “rasselstein® Solidflex”. The user can obtain information on potentials for all applications of the stable material and get an overview of the available coating possibilities. If required, push notifications keep the users updated with news about rasselstein® packaging steel.
The 2.0 update of the Packaging Steel App can be downloaded for Android and iOS on the app stores. BlackBerry users can find the app for their device on Amazon Play. The app is free and is available in English and German.
