Common challenges with wire products: How voestalpine Wire Technology supports its customers

9 September 2025 | 

Our customers know that not all wire is created equal. Whether it's cracks in the material, fluctuating quality, delivery delays, or a lack of technical support - problems like these cost time, money, and nerves. At the same time, demands for sustainability and CO₂ reduction are increasing. voestalpine Wire Technology understands these challenges and offers solutions from a single source: reliable, customized, and future-oriented. Learn how we successfully overcome typical customer problems with best practices and technical excellence.

Efficient wire solutions for the most common customer pains and needs:

Defects in the wire, such as cracks or unevenness, lead to rejects and downtime.

  • Our solution: Our integrated value chain produces reliable, traceable, crack-free wire from crude steel to the finished product. This is made possible by our state-of-the-art steel production, rolling, and drawing technologies.

Quality inconsistencies, such as fluctuating surface quality or tolerances, slow down production.

  • Our solution: Highest quality: We offer over 400 alloys, the tightest tolerances, and the best surfaces thanks to our state-of-the-art in-line testing and comprehensive quality assurance.

Supply Problems: Supply bottlenecks delay projects and incur additional costs.

  • Our solution: Flexibility and delivery reliability: We offer custom-fit packaging, IATF-certified quality, and flexible logistics for quantities ranging from prototypes to 3 tons of coils.

Lack of technical support: Without R&D support, developing new wire solutions is time-consuming and costly.

Sustainability Requirements: Carbon footprint and process optimization are becoming increasingly important.

  • Our solution: Sustainability: TM rolling, green steel initiatives, and renewable energies - we optimize costs and carbon footprint simultaneously.We provide customized solutions with TechMet, MetLab, and digital simulations.
