Robin Olsson, new CTO at Suzuki Garphyttan, said, “Right now, we’re focusing on bright stainless wire, textile wire, duplex and cold-drawn wire. These are not all new in themselves, but we believe we can capture market shares here because we have better technical expertise, better support, better products, and we are also actively working to reduce our climate impact.” wire reduces residuals on the wire surface. This development is important for applications with strict requirements for cleanliness and surface appearance. The bright, fine surfaces not only improve corrosion resistance, but also facilitate easier cleaning – important factors for applications such as medical equipment and conveyor systems in sanitary environments.
