WE ARE A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY
Since 2006 La Farga has been a member of the United Nations Global
Compact, adapting its principles of conduct and action in matter of
human rights, work, the environment and the fight against the corruption
and bribery. Thus sustainability is fully integrated into the company’s
management strategy, in order to achieve the social, environmental

for our whole environment.
All the people that contribute to our project are vital to the continuous
improvement of the company. By means of a pleasant environment and
healthy and honest interpersonal relationships we build new projects
every day that help us grow together with our partners; and our patented
technological revolution, a reality around the world, already forms part of
our work culture. Thanks to our extensive knowledge of metals, we are
excellent combination for our clients: experience, service and quality.
A PIONEER IN INNOVATION
La Farga has always positioned itself as pioneering company as
a result of its considerable investment in innovation in machinery
and development of high performance copper products for railway
applications.
To this end, we have a research, development and innovation team
which, together with our clients, allows us to develop products that
respond to specific needs.
With the support of universities and technological centres, La Farga
carries out research with the goal of designing new high performance
materials for the electrification of railway lines.

Alloys
CuAg
Silver is used as an alloying element to increase the base material’s
resistance to annealing, which makes to achieve better thermal stability
of products that make up the catenary without sacrificing mechanical or
electrical properties, and thus improve their durability.
EVELEC™
Copper based on micro-alloys, which improves the wear resistance
by between 30 and 50% compared to the products commonly used in
conventional lines.
