Drahtwerk Wagener steel wire for springs

150 years of expertise to produce the perfect steel wire for springs

Metal springs are commonly used in various applications such as in mattresses, vehicles, and machinery, to provide shock absorption, suspension, or support. They can be made from a wide range of materials, but steel has always been a popular choice due to its high strength and durability.

To achieve the best end product, the starting material - that is, steel wire - must be strong enough to withstand the stress and strain of being coiled and compressed repeatedly without losing its shape or strength. Plus, it must also have a consistent diameter and be free of defects that could weaken the final product. What company would you entrust?

One of the most skilled companies in the industry is the Germany-based Drahtwerk Wagener GmbH, in business since the 19th century. Embedded in the KÜNNE Group, the company is a leading drawn steel wire manufacturer specializing in spring steel wire.

Its steel wires - according to DIN EN 10270-1 and DIN EN 17223/1 - are widely used to shape a whole range of springs, including tension, compression, spiral springs, and bending parts. “We are very experienced in the production of this range. Customers all over the world trust our quality and service,” declares CEO Markus. Giese.

“We can produce any quantity the customer requires – starting from tiny lots. Moreover, we are always ready to develop the product together with the client in order to improve their productivity. If necessary, we can offer a quick delivery time. It goes without saying that we observe all international norms and standards”.

The company manufactures different types of spring steel wire (SL, SM, SH, DM, and DH for DIN EN 10270-1 and A, B, C/D for DIN EN 17223/1) in a variety of diameters. Being part of the KÜNNE Group, Drahtwerk Wagener also benefits from the downstream integration of products in the wire rope sector.
