Hydropower for wire manufacturers – voestalpine Wire Austria increases energy efficiency and security of supply

Located in the heart of Bruck an der Mur, surrounded by the Mur and Mürz rivers and the train station with its busy access roads, voestalpine Wire Austria produces wire for future-oriented industries worldwide.

At the end of last year, the revitalized "Andrieu" weir, which had previously been partially washed away, was successfully put back into operation. Under the direction of project manager Manuel Jandl and accompanied by experienced experts, the damming of the Mürz was completed even before the originally planned end of the project in spring 2026.

• Sustainable and stable energy supply
• Increased energy efficiency
• Improvement of flood protection for fail-safe operation
• Protection of the ecological habitat of the Mürz

For customers, this means greater production reliability, lower risk of failure, and sustainable supply chains.

The focus remains on the use of hydropower: COO Martin Reicher and Project Manager Manuel Jandl are delighted with the successful implementation of the highly complex construction logistics and safety-critical revitalization of all weir systems.

With a high proportion of self-generated electricity and consistent energy savings, voestalpine Wire Austria GmbH at the Bruck an der Mur site is developing into another impressive "energy example."

A glance at the project documentation reveals the enormous effort involved - a technically and organizationally highly complex project has been successfully completed.

Congratulations to everyone involved!
