Tube, Wire & Cold Extrusion

Highest Precision in Cold Forming

With decades of experience, we are your trusted partner for optimizing complex production processes in metalworking. Our technology portfolio is ideal for tube drawing, wire drawing, cold extrusion, and the metalworking industry.

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for non-cutting cold forming applications, delivering significant benefits in surface treatment technologies for optimized, cost-efficient process flows. We invest our time and resources in fully understanding your challenges, needs, and opportunities. Our industry-specific solutions ensure excellent cleaning, enhanced lubrication, maximum forming efficiency, and long-term corrosion protection—all while meeting the ecological standards of modern production facilities.

Tube Industry: From Blank to Precision Tube

Efficient tube manufacturing requires advanced cleaning agents, pickling inhibitors, and activating/neutralizing agents. We offer high-performance solutions that are trusted worldwide in the production of high-quality tubes.

Wire Industry: From Cold Heading to Spring Steel Wire

Our technologies support all wire manufacturing processes, from low-carbon to high-carbon iron and steel. This includes cleaning solutions, phosphate removal agents, pickling inhibitors, and activating/neutralizing agents. We also offer energy-saving low-temperature processes, sludge-free electrolytic applications, and high-performance zinc/calcium technologies.

Cold Extrusion: Precision at Every Step

Chemetall provides high-performance solutions for various cold forming operations, including wire and tube drawing, (cold) extrusion, and forging. For complex geometries, Chemetall’s innovative lubricants deliver exceptional extrusion results, even for challenging shapes. Our comprehensive range of corrosion protection agents, cleaning products, and pickling inhibitors ensures a cost-effective, high-performance workflow, from start to finish.
