Flexible bars

Based on the production of insulated and rolled bars, Gindre has developed Maxiflex flexible bars, an innovative product made from highly flexible bare or tinned copper strips. Maxiflex are insulated with high-quality PVC, offering exceptional mechanical, electrical and self-extinguishing properties. Our in-depth technical knowledge ensures optimum flexibility, excellent value for money and first-rate quality.

Upcycling - virtuous recycling of copper scrap

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.
