SHORT ABOUT
COPPER, BRASS & BRONZECopper (Cu) is one of the most used raw materials. It is durable and easy to
shape. And copper is a raw material, which conducts heat and electricity easily.
About 2/3 of all copper in the world is used for cables and electronics. That is,
for example, electric motors, refrigerators, TV, mobile telephones and computers.
Copper has been produced in large quantities for the last 100 years. It was only,
when the use of electricity became widespread throughout the world, that there
was a demand for electrical cables and connectors. People were using copper to
make jewellery as early as 5-6000 years ago.
By mixing zink into the copper Brass (CuZn..) is made. Between 1/4 and 1/3 of
all copper is used to make brass. Brass is harder and stronger than copper – and
it is cheaper.
Later, they discovered how to make tools and weapons by melting copper
together with tin. By doing this, they made bronze. Bronze (CuSn..) contains
about 90% copper and 10% tin.
In modern industry – copper is widely used. Metalcenter group supplies copper,
brass and bronze to a wide range of industrial & bulding applications – and
customized red-metal products into wind turbine especially.

100% FOCUS ON RED METALSMetalcenter has a 100% focus on red metals: Copper,
brass and bronze. We have in-depth metal knowhow
and more than 200 years of red metal experience in the
organization.
Our goal is to be able to offer our customers all skills
needed for this particular material. The result is an ex-
tensive internal knowledge base and experience with all
aspects of red metals. We have a large-scale, international
interface with copper manufacturers and specialists who
contribute solutions and valuable knowledge. Copper is
demanding in terms of handling, transportation, packag-
ing and storage. As red metal specialists, we have put in
place a setup to match these demands – with the right
flow of goods from manufacturer to customer.
Furthermore, Metalcenter can book metal directly on
the LME metal exchange – with option to book on daily,
monthly average, fixed metal price for a certain period or
hedging of metal – whereas metal price fluctuation risks
can be reduced.
