In June 2012 Anglia Metal started its
activities in copper wire manufacturing
for the cable industry and other markets
processing copper wire such as can
welding and solar ribbon manufacturers.
Formerly trading under Tri-Wire Ltd, the
company found a new industrial investor
who has a long-term and sustainable
strategy in the copper industry.
The new owner has taken on all the
management team of Anglia Metal,
as well as the experienced staff, and
now the company is able to focus on
the optimisation and expansion of the
business.
The company focus is on supply chain
excellence and on the ability to provide a
broad range of wire products in plain or
tinned varieties.
The product scope ranges from 0.1mm
single and multi end wires, various
flexible conductors up to a cross section
of 10mm2 to small braiding bobbins for
screening applications.
The production equipment is in line
with the industrial standard and the
factory has gone through continuous
improvement exercises over recent years.
Anglia Metal is able to provide very short
lead times because of the flexibility and
the commitment to customer success by
the workforce.
The customer base in the UK is active in
data, telecom, building, industrial and
automotive cable manufacturing as well
as can production. The company looks
forward to further expansion into special
wires and other activities in the European
market.
Further expansion of the product scope
is planned in order to secure local
customers an expanded source for their
copper wire needs.
