Case Study: SSAB achieves reduced downtime and improved asset management with Maintenance Connection

Increased transparency into asset health and spend across global steel plants

SSAB, headquartered in Stockholm, is a global steel manufacturer of advanced high‑strength steels with production sites across Sweden, Finland, the U.S., and beyond. Facing a high volume of assets and no formal management strategy, SSAB struggled to track asset health, organize equipment details, and implement preventive maintenance—risks that led to downtime, delayed production, and reduced customer satisfaction.

By deploying Accruent’s Maintenance Connection, SSAB established asset hierarchy trees, centralized asset data (specs, manuals), financial reporting, breakdown tracking, and planned preventive maintenance schedules. This improved asset visibility and prioritization, reduced downtime, sped technician response, extended equipment lifespan, and provided clearer insight into maintenance spending—lowering costs and supporting more reliable production.
