Automotive sub-supply: cold-drawn wire for fasteners (2013)
Automotive fasteners rely on cold-drawn low-carbon wire that behaves predictably during header and roll-forming. In 2013 we saw more customers ask for narrower tensile scatter within a single coil, not just batch to batch. To hold that, wire-rod incoming quality control…

Rebuilding order books after 2008: what we are seeing in 2011 (2011)
The credit shock of 2008 changed how our customers think about inventory and vendor concentration. In 2011, the pattern is clear: buyers want fewer, more reliable suppliers, and they want documentation. For a mid-size Turkish wire manufacturer, that trend is favourable….
Construction and mesh: quiet volume that respects the calendar (2011)
