The European Union has adopted several packages⁽¹⁾ against the Russian Federation concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and against the Republic of Belarus concerning restrictive measures in the view of the situation in Belarus. All these measures must be effectively implemented by both the competent authorities and EU economic operators.

These measures prohibit the direct or indirect import or export of the goods concerned and prohibit the participation, knowingly or intentionally, in activities, which circumvent these prohibitions. They also stipulate that Member States must impose sanctions for breaches of these regulations.

We hereby declare that we comply with the applicable legal provisions imposing sanctions and that we do not cooperate with entities that are subject to or within the scope of these sanctions. Furthermore we declare that we are not affected by the sanctions.

Dear business partners,

The war in Ukraine is dominating our thoughts at the moment. We all hope for a quick end of this war and for peace in Europe.

Nevertheless, we have to devote ourselves to everyday business.

Andernach & Bleck has in the past and currently not purchased any goods or services in Russia or Ukraine. As a result, we can assure you that there will be no immediate disruptions within our supply chains and we will continue to serve you as a reliable partner.

After more than 35 years, we have decided to transfer the essential parts of Roland Stahl GmbH into the hands of Alois Schmitt GmbH Co. KG with effect from January 1, 2022. Roland Stahl will continue to operate as the Bremen branch of Eisen Schmitt. The entire workforce of the Bremen steel trade will be taken over and all business relations will continue unchanged. Of course, A&B will continue to be available as a supplier to the Bremen colleagues.

For A&B, this is a further building block in the strategic realignment of the company. "After the sale of Roland Stahl and the Heine & Bleck shares, we are putting our focus back on what we have been doing successfully for generations - bright steel production," says Managing Director Carsten Bleck, explaining the decision after the contract was signed in Karlsruhe.
