FSP-one has had a presence in Asia for more than 15 years and is a recognised partner on the Asian markets. FSP-one took the decision to start a local production at the end of 2007 at Hi-TechWires Asia (HWA), located in Vietnam. The company is manufacturing the speciality conductors of FSP-one but also the EDM wires of its mother company, Thermocompact. Through these examples, FSP-one shows its goals to be a dynamic and innovative company ready to go with its customers and the markets to provide the best service, quality and efficiency.

FSP-one produces and sells speciality conductors, and will stress its most recent development: Green6®, presented during wire 2006, is developing strongly and reveals itself as the best new RoHs alloy to replace the classical ones such as Cadmium copper. Green6® is already used in high technology markets such as Geophysics, IT, and qualified by the aircraft industries (Starts early 2008). NPCCA (nickel plated copper-clad aluminium) and SPCCA (silver plated copper-clad aluminium) have been especially developed for the aircraft industry. This new generation of conductors are available as standard industrial products and are already used by Airbus in the A380 jumbo. Other Airbus programmes will use the same conductors in the near future. The CCA conductors offer a competitive advantage compared to the classical copper conductors, allowing you to save more than twice the weight of cable, whilst keeping equivalent performances. These performances are now moving to other applications such as automotive. • •
