intelligent wires – made by bedra

High quality and sophisticated services have made the bedra umbrella brand synonymous with innovative high-tech precision wires for spark erosion, welding and brazing technology, electronic components, and other applications. “Made by bedra” is our commitment and motivation. We manufacture in Germany and Vietnam. At our locations we cover the entire in-house production process – from casting, rolling and drawing, annealing and electroplating, through to final packaging.

Our production volume amounts to 30 million kilometers of fine wire per year. Customers can choose from our extensive selection of over 100 alloys to suit their needs.

Use of the highest quality metals ensures quality.

The founding of the "fine wire drawing facility” dates back to 1889. More than 130 years later, our main concern is still to offer our customers genuine added value. With this heritage, we attach great importance to the quality of our products and services. We are able to ensure that our customers receive flawless products from us at all times. Meeting the highest demands is what we require of ourselves. Beyond our extensive product testing after each production step, the secret of bedra's high quality lies above all in the quality of the primary material. We rely exclusively on the use of high-quality metals – systematically and without compromise. Achieving the tightest alloy tolerances is an unconditional requirement. This is how we achieve the best possible processing results.

Complete quality control

A glance at the details makes it clear: We achieve bedra’s well-known quality with an uncompromising strategy. We make no compromises when it comes to materials. We only use metals of the highest quality. This ensures that our products are absolutely pure alloys. This is all the prerequisite for complete quality control. And our quality promise guarantees us an important and unique selling point in the markets of the world. It ensures that bedra and premium quality are mentioned together in the same breath. Our market penetration allows us to act independently. We can see developments in global markets and react with flexibility and speed. Our fine quality and workmanship are also certified by external parties.

Commitment to protection of the environment

 

Protecting the environment is very important to us. With bedra’s ambitious environmental protection program, we have taken on a range of ecological obligations, and we follow them with economic responsibility and technological care. Some examples are:

  • Resource-saving melt
  • Minimized emissions
  • Energy savings through efficient process technology
  • Water savings and water protection through closed-system loops
  • bedra360 - our sustainability principle

For our energy management system, we have been certified according to DIN EN ISO 50001:2018. Our efforts to treat the environment with care have been endorsed by the German Society for Certification of Management Systems (DQS), with the DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 certificate. In addition, meticulous compliance with RoHS and REACH guidelines is natural for us. We achieve RoHS compliance for all our products and process steps through:

  • General avoidance of lead and heavy metals in production
  • Lead replacement in electroplating with pure-tin electrolytes

Ecology and technology are no contradiction.

With our own laboratory we guarantee complete and fast monitoring of all process steps. From the foundry to the electroplating to the finished end product, bedra environmental protection is more than the sum of individual measures. Our approach goes beyond water, air, and soil protection. Smart and coordinated measures increase work and process safety. At the same time, they guarantee our customers consistently high process quality. This is how we can say that ecology and technology are no contradiction. Smart wires. Made by bedra.
