Our industries
From power generation to distribution, our copper supports projects in industry and electric mobility.
Co-development of automotive busbars
Vehicle and locomotive busbars have to be constantly rethought in terms of cross-sections, shapes and materials to meet safety and energy performance requirements.
Software for optimizing copper cross-sections
Copper, crucial to the energy and digital transition, is used in power generation, power supplies and vehicles. With demand set to double in 5 years, busbars need to be rethought to reduce copper usage while maintaining their performance and durability.
Virtuous copper recycling
Copper is essential for the energy and digital transition, with the European objective of 25% recycled materials by 2030. Strong demand is coming from the electricity and transport sectors. The Gindre Group and Montanwerke Brixlegg, both active in recycling, already comply with environmental standards.
