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.

Metals are extracted with lowest possible impact from suppliers' mines

Mines

End-of-Life materials can be sent back to smelters to be refined in several process steps

Suppliers (smelters) Cathods (raw material) manufacturing

End-of-Life copper can be sent back to Elcowire to be recycled

Internal metal scrap is recycled

Elcowire - Wire, rod and conductor material manufacturing

Process scrap from customers can be recycled at Elcowire

Customers - Cable and other copper based soluctions manufacturing

End-of-Life - At the material end-of-life there are several possibilities for the material to get a new life

Elcowire's circularity process enables our customers to reduce their CO2 emissions.
