HPW Metallwerk Boosts Copper Processing with New UPCAST® System

HPW Metallwerk GmbH announces a significant investment in a new UPCAST® system to enhance its technological leadership in copper processing. The company, known for high-performance copper wires, is set to commission the system in April to expand its production capabilities. This move is part of a broader strategy focusing on sustainability, quality, and efficiency.

The UPCAST® process is recognized for energy efficiency and producing high-purity oxygen-free copper. It ensures excellent surface quality and superior electrical and mechanical properties. This investment aligns with the increasing quality demands from sectors like automotive and renewable energy, enabling HPW to produce copper with tighter tolerances and enhanced material properties.

The initiative also supports HPW's commitment to sustainability by significantly increasing the use of recycled materials and reducing energy consumption. CEO Dr. Ewald Koppensteiner emphasizes the company's dedication to high-quality standards and sustainability, particularly benefiting e-mobility.
