Outokumpu has also provided stainless fingerprint-resistant steel for inside door and window frames. The Stockholm Waterfront project emphasizes energy-efficiency and sustainable materials. Stainless steel was chosen by the architects, White Arkitekter, as a response to this. Outokumpu's duplex steel provides a highly durable and corrosion resistant stainless structure, which will be largely maintenance-free and fully recyclable. Stefano Mangili of White Arkitekter comments on Outokumpu's role: "As architects we have visions of what to achieve, but we need professionals to help us optimize and realize our visions. A lot of work was put into finding the exact material for this complex structure. From Outokumpu, we got the support we needed to realize the vision." Mats Segerback, Segment Solution Manager, is pleased with the project: "This building combines aesthetic appearance with a requirement for an extended lifespan. We are happy to fulfill the needs of the architects with our stainless solutions. This also demonstrates Outokumpu's capability to give specialist advice in prioritized key segments like architecture." The Stockholm Waterfront will be situated in central Stockholm, overlooking the City Hall and the bay Riddarfjarden. The project is scheduled for completion in December 2010.
