Wire rod

One for all. Wire rod.

KME’s wire rod is made in our own foundry. It is produced at our KME Mansfeld GmbH production site in Hettstedt using the Contirod® process and complies with the highest quality requirements. Our cast-rolled wire is used as a primary product for all of our drawn wires. We manufacture it in compliance with European and international standards. If required we can guarantee certain properties, including in compliance with specific customer requirements.

Our recently commissioned new production plant for cast wire enables us ourselves to manufacture cast wire for special applications such as oxygen-free, highly conductive copper wire with a copper content of more than 99.95%. This is used in special profiles employed in the electrical and automotive industry as well as telecommunications.
