As a top international manufacturer of high-quality precision wires of non-ferrous metals, we distinguish ourselves in the market through high quality and smart services. Absolute customer focus. This is a long tradition for us - ever since the company was founded in 1889. Our ability to innovate, along with our well-known reliability, set us apart. These two strengths have made bedra a leader in quality and a leader in the market. Year after year, our plants produce more than 30 million kilometers of precision wire - in over 100 alloy versions. Our business units are: bedra EDM bedra WELDING bedraELAS We are known for customer-specific solutions across all service areas. Our highly qualified employees play a major role in this. We rely exclusively on high-quality metals for manufacturing our products. This makes our innovative high-tech precision wires absolutely alloy-pure. Since the beginnings of spark erosion, we have participated with great success in the continuing development of the technology and the associated improvement in manufacturing processes in the area of mold and tool making. With the functional coatings we've developed for EDM wire, enormous increases in the re moval rate can be achieved. The resulting increase in productivity is enormous: In tough everyday use, this can lead to 20 percent shorter machine running times. And this does affect production costs. The use of coated wire in spark erosion has the potential to reduce production costs by up to 20 percent.
