The high voltage cable market consist of overhead, subterrain and submarine cables. Elcowire Business Unit High Voltage targets the subterrain and submarine cable conductor market in Europe.
The available market is dependent on design of conductor (AC or DC, insulation type, laying depth etc).
Regardless of cable design, Elcowire High Voltage has a suitable conductor solution.
The offered conductor solutions are either made of Copper or Aluminium in various alloys, qualities, shapes, sizes and compositions and are produced in either extruded or drawn processes. The offering also includes customized logistics and packaging arrangements.
Furthermore Elcowire proudly offers Low-carbon Copper products made from either Recycled or Primary copper, both categories significantly lowering CO2 emissions.

BUSINESS UNIT SPECIALS
Elcowire Business Unit Specials develops and delivers extruded and drawn profiles in various shapes and sizes. They are often made to customer requirements for use in energy transmission applications within primarily the automotive health & medical and energy industries. The product offering, comprises a standard set of products as well as custom -made designs, dimensions and materials.
Business Unit Specials is the most recent within Elcowire Group.
Current customers are automotive and health & medical industries, as well as energy producers and others involved in the green transition of society.
Being a newly established business unit the primary focus lays at business development activities that aims to map and further define the market boundaries for the unit.
Similar as with Business Unit High Voltage, an important competitive advantage is our ability to serve our customers with unique conform shapes using own machines and our own casted pre-material and tooling. This allows us to have full control of the process from raw material to finished product, including machine and tool design.
The typical products offered are soft strips, channel wires, welding wires and stranded conductors.
COPPER ALTERNATIVES
OUR SOLUTIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE ELECTRICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRIES. WITH RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS, WE ARE DEVELOPING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE YOU WITH OUTSTANDING ENERGY-SAVING PRODUCTS WITH MAXIMUM CIRCULARITY.
STANDARD COPPER
Our copper is responsible sourced to prevent abuses of human rights, avoid contributing to conflicts, as well as safeguarding health and safety of miners in the supply chain. Our cathodes are LME Grade A and in accordance with the standard ASTM B115, or EN 1978.
LOW-CARBON COPPER
The Low-carbon Copper has less than half of the CO2 emissions per kg copper compared to standard copper. The reduced CO2 emissions of our Low-carbon Copper have been validated scientifically and will play an important role in the transition, to achieve the goal of net-zero CO2 emission by 2050 set by the EU. The carbon emissions reduction by using Low-carbon Copper is based on using copper mines with electrified production, Elcowire's lean prodution methods, very efficient ore concentration process and a world-class green energy mix.
Elcowire sets the example by producing semi-fiished and finished products that have a low impact on nature and climate.
RECYCLED COPPER
One of the most significant benefits of copper is its recyclability. Copper is a highly sought-after material in the recycling industry because it can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality or purity. This means that copper can be reused in new products, reducing the need for mining and extraction of new copper ore. Recycling copper also reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with copper production, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Elcowire's waste management and processing of materials are focused on going from linear flows to circular flows, supporting the core of a circular economy.
