History
Ferrostaal was founded in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1920. The steel trading company was bought by Gutehoffnungshütte Aktienverein (GHH) in 1926. Over time Ferrostaal expanded into more countries, and had a presence in the international steel trade from the 1950s onwards. During the 1960s the company started building industrial plants. Until the end of the 1960s, Ferrostaal was also a manufacturer of diesel railcars and railbuses. In 2004 it was renamed MAN Ferrostaal. Three years later the corporation sold two thirds of its steel business. In 2007 Solar and Biofuels were created as new strategic business areas. As a result of IPIC taking over the majority of shares of MAN Ferrostaal AG, the company changed its name into Ferrostaal AG.Шаблон:Citation needed
