WHAT WE DOFor over 135 years, we have been transforming steel wire and applying unique coating technologies. Every day, we continuously improve both the bulk and the surface properties of our steel wire products.

We draw steel wire in different strengths and diameters, even as thin as ultrafine fibers of one micron. We bundle the wires into cords, ropes and strands, profile them into complex shapes, weave or knit them into fabric, or process them into an end product. Depending on your application, coatings are applied which reduce friction, improve corrosion resistance, or enhance adhesion to other materials.

HOW WE WORKIntegrity, trust and resilience - these values are the essence of our corporate culture. They bring our30 000 employees worldwide together in one team, and they drive all of our business relationships.

We believe in lasting relationships with our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders, and we are committed to delivering long-term value to each of them.

So if you believe in collaboration as the driver of a sustainable, successful partnership, then we can be better together.
