Copper is more valuable than ever. The range of its applications is almost limitless. The high tech sector depends upon it just as much as the automotive industry. And not only that – copper is also used:
In the electrical and electronic industry, copper can be found in chip carriers, contact carriers (relays), in cables and plug connections as well as in solder terminations, transformers, motors, generators and much more.
Nor can the automotive industry do without copper. The metal is utilised in contact, transmission and connection parts for engine control and engine diagnostics.
The construction industry relies on copper for hot water and heating pipes, in media transport, in façade cladding, in interior fittings and many other areas.
In mechanical and systems engineering and in medical technology, copper is found in sprockets, shift forks, parts in gear wheels and bevel gears and many other areas.
