Because we serve the widest variety of markets, we can call upon a huge resource of industry knowledge and experience in solving new problems. That's why we're so successful in expanding into exciting new markets and technologies. In recent years, we have solved customer problems with innovations such as:
- Seawire - a copper silicon alloy that is weldable, resists aquatic biofouling, is non-polluting and can be made into cages for humane, offshore fish-farming.
- Sunwire - both the highly-efficient manufacturing process and the product. SunWire is the flattest, thinnest, softest photovoltaic wire available.
- Electrofin coatings - solving corrosion problems in coils and coolers.
- CO2 refrigerant systems - finding commercial uses for an ozone-friendly refrigerant.
- Ultra-Infiltrant casting - helping to perfecting Near Net Shape micro-castings with new alloys.
- New coil and cooler designs - bringing new levels of efficiency to the transportation and storage of food.
- New welding products - maintaining productivity and weld quality for the lightest and most challenging steel alloys.
New technology and markets is a part of our strategic plan - so if you have a challenge, let's hear about it.
