The family-run company is now managed by the fourth generation and employs around 30 staff. It manufactures fine wires of all kinds as well as straightened bars with diameters from 0.15 to 1.20 mm in lengths of 20 to 3000 mm, custom-drawn to Cast/Lift or Cast/Helix or straightened. In addition, the company offers plastic coating of wires with polyurethane or polyester. Product groups include interdental brush wire, medical wire for guide wires, stylets and mandrels, hot-cutting wires for EPS particle foams, spring wire, brush wire and scratch wire.
