Wire Expertise Since 1912
Drahtwerk Lötters GmbH is a family-run company based in Hemer-Bredenbruch, which has been producing quality wires since 1912. Its core competence is the drawing of flat and round wires from high-quality iron and steel materials in the dimensional range of 0.08 to 6.00 mm, maintaining high dimensional accuracy and consistent mechanical properties. Subsequently, the wires are electrolytically finished (galvanized, nickel-plated, tin-plated, copper-plated) or coated with polymers such as PET, PA, PP, and PVC via extrusion, including color application in finished colors. Products include tie wire, spiral binding wire, staple wire, nail welding wire, brush punching wire, textile wires, and special wires according to customer specifications. Customers include the wire processing industry, the printing and paper industry, and the brush, textile, and fastening industries. The company supplies worldwide and has subsidiary and sister companies in Poland and Brazil, as well as sales offices in Asia and South America.
