About us
The companyConstancy of manufacturing - the foundation for quality
- Aluminium ore: Bauxite
- Aluminium oxide
The production of our aluminium welding wires starts by winning 
bauxite. Already at this stage the safeguarding of our qualiy starts. The alumina we use for each Aluminium wire or rod in a MIG WELD box can be linked to the mining areas at Gardanne, France or Saint Nicolas, Greece without any exception. The aluminium gained from this bauxite conatins trace elements which are typical for each metal - like a fingerprint. These trace elements have an influence on the welding process and this is the main reason why the usage from bauxite from always the same origin is so important.
Aluminium oxide (alumina) leads to bauxite and these manufacturing steps are performed on the same equipment as well.
- Aluminium electrolysis in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne
- Strip from the casting wheel
The electrolysis, alloying and the further processing to a rod with a diameter of 9.5 mm is exclusively done in the manufacturing facilities at Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in the French alps. The required electrical energy comes from regional hydro power plants only.
The pure aluminium which is manufactured this way will be alloyed and cast into a strip by means of a continuous casting process. In a subsequent roll stand a rod wire with a diameter of 9.5 mm will be fabricated.
The further processing to the finished product is done in our plant in Dijon, France.
The manufacturing chain so documented, of always the same origin and manufacturing equipment guarantees for highest possible constancy of our product and therefore leads to least possible deviations in welding fabrication.
Similar measurements have been taken for all our other products.
