With the recent reopening of its drawing mill in Hallstahammar, Sweden, a leading supplier of industrial heating technology and resistance materials expects to meet an increased global demand for heating, resistance and thermocouple wire.
Kanthal, which is part of the Sandvik Group, recently expanded its capacity by reopening its drawing mill, which includes a new production line designed in a flexible way to secure a sustainable and cost-effective wire drawing.
“We want to support our customers to grow and stay competitive. To be able to do this, we must ramp up our production of Kanthal® wire to secure short and reliable lead times,” said Christoffer Saarnio, global supply chain manager (shown above). “With the new production line, we will be able to meet increased demand for many years to come.”
“We have produced Kanthal wire in Hallstahammar since 1931, except for the past five years,” said Nicklas Nilsson, president at Kanthal. “It’s great to close the circle and once again see the drawing mill up and running.”
