WEIRTEC®, the Weirton Steel Technology Center, is the steel industry's only leading-edge research and development facility.

When we started WEIRTEC over 30 years ago we knew the future of our industry depended on developing new products and new markets for steel.

WEIRTEC has produced a host of award-winning, patented steel products now used everyday in a wide range of applications.

WEIRTEC serves its customers with:

  • A unique product development service for tin mill products
  • A facility well-equipped for product re-engineering
  • A product prototyping and pilot testing facility
  • A comprehensive analytical services facility to help solve nagging technical problems in your manufacturing process

How does WEIRTEC work?

Our watchword is partnership. We work closely with our customers to achieve fast innovative solutions to their process challenges, product development objectives and process re-engineering.

Think of WEIRTEC as an extension of your own R & D department -- only better. Our advanced computer engineering capabilities allow us to accurately simulate and predict the effects of design changes, material economics, as well as the effect of introducing novel materials or process changes. Computer modelling allows us to work safely and without disruption to your current operations.

Whether your goal is to maximize productivity on an existing line, or develop new products to serve your customer better, you set the agenda. We work with you every step of the way; testing, modeling, evaluating, and producing prototypes. Our commitment to you doesn't end there. We help you set up at your facility. Then we follow up with on-going technical support as you implement changes.
