Stainless Steel Mechanical & Fine Wire

With a wide variety of grades and packing available we can satisfy all of our clients requirements.

Mechanical Wire

For production of weaving and netting wire we can supply rota-laid wire on metal spiders or drums. The rota-laid process used is the most modern system to obtain a perfect unwinding of the wire.

For the continuous production where large packing is necessary with a heavy weight we have dedicated a production line where we can produce cardboard coils (Z2) of 1000Kg to 1300Kg continuous coils with either a degreased or bright surface finish.

Fine Wire

For the braiding, knitting & weaving industries we have a dedicated mill for the production of all these fine wires.

Due to our parent companies production facilities and methods we can supply material to the quantities / lengths our customers require – no matter how specific.
