Cold rolling - Import export

Cold rolled steel sheets are produced by re-rolling process of hot rolled steel sheets in order to provide precise thickness distribution across the coil. The surface roughness of the cold rolled materials is lower compared to hot rolled steels and suitable for painting and coating applications. According to the customers demands, it can be supplied in coil, slitted and cut to length sheet form. Our stock includes cold rolled steel sheet materials produced according to EN 10130, EN 10268, EN 10338, EN 10209 and others.

Cold rolled steel is low carbon steel produced by a "cold rolling" process and processed at near normal room temperatures. Cold rolled steel offers superior strength and machinability. Cold rolled steel sheets are often used for engineering products where close tolerances, concentricity, surface smoothness and coated surfaces are required.

Hot rolled steel is a type of steel that is formed by the hot rolling process at a temperature above its recrystallization temperature. Steel is easier to form at this elevated temperature. Compared to cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel does not usually require heat treatment after forming. Hot rolled steel usually has more mill scale than cold rolled steel.

Galvanized steel coils are cold rolled sheets coated with Zinc. According to customers need, can be supplied as coil, slitted or cut to length form. Our stock includes generally materials produced according to EN 10346, also other special grades.

Westfälische Drahtindustrie produces cold rolled flat and shaped wires at its Brotterode site. Over the last few decades, the Brotterode plant, with its central location in the heart of Europe, has evolved into an important supplier to the international cold rolling industry. With around 40 employees, we manufacture flat and profile wires in coils or bars for our industrial customers at our site in Brotterode (Thuringia) - on an area of 40,000 m². Our products can be found in the offshore, construction, electrical and automotive industries, among others. The Brotterode plant maintains quality assurance in accordance with ISO 9001 and certified energy management in accordance with ISO 50001. The absence of an environmentally harmful pickling plant also makes us an environmentally friendly high quality flat wire plant
