WireSolutions
Build, Move & Energize!
With three factories dedicated to prestressing wire and strands, WireSolutions is certified in more than 20 countries and delivers to all five continents. More than 50 years experience gained with these products, an extensive knowledge of the market and the backing of ArcelorMittal, the largest steel producer worldwide, makes us one of the world leaders in the industry. Sustainability Prestressed concrete uses much less materials than reinforced concrete: savings can reach 40% of the overall mass! Longer spans, thinner and lighter elements allow a reduction in number of piles, height of buildings, consumption of energy in freight and handling, therefore CO2 emissions. Quality All WireSolutions plants are certified ISO 9001. But quality cannot be reduced to a certificate alone: it is our constant attention, through choice of raw material, process control, regular inspection and continuous improvement. We test samples in accordance with local regulations. Leadership From the origins of prestressing, in France in the 1950s, ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries have been commited to develop steel specifications and processes to produce the highest quality prestressing wire and strands. Innovation is part of our culture: it is no coincidence that we were the first in the world to develop individually protected stay-cable strands and very high tensile steels. WireSolutions is commited to safety. This is true in our factories. This is also true for any construction site where our prestressing wire and strands are used: bridges, cryogenic storage, industrial, commercial and residential buildings where safety is critical. Designing, producing and promoting prestressing products of an increasing quality has always been a daily preoccupation for each and everyone in the Company.
