Drinking water is our most important food. The quality of drinking water must be of such a high standard that it can be enjoyed without restriction throughout life. For this reason, ever stricter requirements are being imposed worldwide on materials that come into contact with drinking water. The appropriate selection of materials and products for drinking water installations is therefore extremely important. Technical, economic, but especially hygienic and health aspects play a major role.
Copper alloys have proven themselves technically and hygienically billions of times worldwide in drinking water installations and will therefore continue to be the basis for clean drinking water in the future.

For sockets and pins for connectors and other electrical components, we provide rods, wires and profiles, made of the copper alloys with the most suitable characteristics. In addition to low-cost brass materials, the materials portfolio includes specially developed copper materials for demanding applications of turned connectors.
Depending on the technical requirements, materials with high electrical conductivity or high mechanical strengths as well as a combination of both of these properties will be applied.

Components for automotive applications are exposed to very high loads such as high temperatures or friction and require material characterstics with high robustness and stress resistance. We offer our pre-material for slide bearing applications, hot stamped parts and machined components in various lead-free alloys adapted to a wide variety of processing methods and applications.

Be it the pen you are writing with, the key you are using, the spectacles you are wearing, the watch or the bracelet on your wrist or the brass instrument you play, there is a high chance you are in touch with Wieland material. That is why we care for materials of our rods and wires with the lowest possible lead content.
