Our History
Hundreds of Years of History, One United Future
When Luvata began producing cannons in Sweden, the Renaissance was sweeping across Europe; Leonardo da Vinci was painting the Mona Lisa; Columbus had recently landed in America and Shakespeare was yet to be born.
Since then, the Luvata has made history of its own. Just some of the products it has pioneered are:
- The Eurocoin alloy (Nordic Gold)
- ‘P-cap’ electrodes
- Cast and RollTM
- CuproBrazeTM
- Continuous vertical strip casting
- and many more
Luvata changed its name from Outokumpu Copper Products in May 2006. Outokumpu Copper Products was a group of companies and technology-driven ventures integrated over many years. Today, the diverse cultures and capabilities of these companies are united under the Luvata name.
