Ovako Supplies Steel for Eleiko Weightlifting Barbells

Steel producer Ovako supplies material for Eleiko, a well-known manufacturer of weightlifting equipment. Ovako's steel has been a crucial element in Eleiko's weightlifting barbells for decades, contributing to their durability and performance in the sports world.

Eleiko has been manufacturing weightlifting equipment since the 1960s and has become synonymous with quality, particularly its barbells. The bars' characteristics, including strength, hardness, and flexibility, are partly derived from the specialized steel supplied by Ovako. The company produces over one hundred tons of this steel annually for Eleiko, delivered in various bar and tube forms.

Ovako's manufacturing process effectively reduces microscopic inclusions in the steel that could compromise its strength. This is critical for materials subjected to extreme stress during athletic events. This collaboration ensures that Eleiko's bars can withstand maximum loads and competition demands without bending or breaking.

Eleiko has utilized Ovako's steel for decades, and the companies collaborate closely to optimize barbell production. Eleiko CEO Erik Blomberg highlights Ovako's importance as a source of quality, reliability, and trust, also noting the company's strong research and development capabilities.
