SUCCESS STORIES:

Galvanized flat wire as an important part of the global energy supply

Flat wires from the voestalpine Wire Austria production site in Bruck/Mur are used for the armouring of high-voltage cables for deep-sea applications, high-voltage XLPE cables, as well as for offshore wind farms and onshore power plants.

Rolling line for profiles

6.000 bar success pressure - How is profiled wire involved in gentle food preservation? The answers lie in the rolling line for profiles (KPWA for short). With a pressure of 6.000 bar, food is gently preserved in high-pressure containers. To illustrate: This corresponds to a pressure at a sea depth of 60 km. Such special processes require high-performance technology and extraordinary machine components.
