Copper is the material of choice for the electrical industry, valued for its outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity. By introducing specific chemical elements into its composition, its fundamental properties — as well as its mechanical strength and machinability — can be further optimised.

Drawing on two centuries of expertise in extrusion, drawing and rolling, Gindre has developed a broad portfolio of copper grades and alloys, all compliant with international standards including IEC, UL, ISO, RoHS and REACH.

Available copper grades include:

• Cu-ETP (electrolytic tough pitch copper) — highest conductivity, standard electrical applications
• Cu-OF (oxygen-free copper) — for sensitive environments requiring minimal oxidation
• Sulphur copper & tellurium copper — enhanced machinability
• Brass and other copper alloys — optimised for specific mechanical or chemical constraints

Each grade is available across Gindre's full product range — bars, coils, sheets, profiles, wires and components — ensuring the right material is matched to every application.

Gindre's technical teams support customers in selecting the most appropriate copper grade from the design phase through to serial production, guaranteeing performance, reliability and full regulatory compliance.
