COPPER - reliable basis of modern defense
and security technologies

Copper is used from ammunition casings and artillery shells to naval systems and advanced electronics. It is a key material for high-performance and reliable technical systems, especially in demanding environments. Thanks to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance, high strength, and outstanding workability, copper meets the highest requirements in defense applications.

In complex systems, copper plays a decisive role in ensuring stable power supply, efficient heat dissipation, and reliable signal transmission. The material properties of copper enable durable solutions with high operational reliability and consistent quality levels - even under challenging environmental conditions. KME copper products are the ideal choice for companies that prioritize quality, reliability, and sustainable value creation.

Decide for a material that combines technical performance, cost efficiency, and long-term reliability.

Choose Copper. For Sure!
