Copper and Copper Alloy Wire Materials

Our pride is in our high quality and high reliability

130

Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. is proud of its 130-year history as a leading manufacturer in the electric wire, wrought copper, and
aluminum industries. Copper Wire Production Department of Electric Conductor Division has established a comprehensive
production system that encompasses all processes from fusion and casting to wire drawing. We have met the needs of
customers in a number of areas, including energy, automobiles, and electronics. By continuing to develop different types of
alloys and offering products with high purity and precision, we earn the appreciation and trust from our customers.

Types of copper wires

SCRSouthwire Continuous RodTPC: Tough Pitch Copper

We offer many types of products, ranging from oxygen-free copper wires to dilute copper alloys, in addition to tough pitch
copper (TPC) manufactured by Southwire Continuous Rod (SCR).
