VOCO within NOTZgroup

VOCO benefits from technological synergies, competence in materials and the optimised processes of NOTZgroup to meet the highest standards on a world scale.

Technical modernisation

Many drawing machines are retrofitted to produce a wider range of round or flat rolled wires. The capacity of the copper coating line is increased and additional annealing furnaces are installed. The synergies between the Swiss sites and VOCO mean the most demanding specifications can be met.
