Energy surcharge for shipments of semi-finished products

24 September 2008
The manufacture of our copper and copper-alloy semi-finished products is energy-intensive. To ensure economical and environmentally friendly production, we constantly aim to use energy efficiently and sparingly.

However, we are still facing massive price increases on the energy market: Electricity prices for industrial consumers have risen by more than 40 % since last year (VIK*, September 2008).

Unfortunately, we are currently no longer able to offset these costs through productivity increases alone. Therefore, we kindly ask for your understanding that we have to charge an extra for the increase in energy costs for shipments of semi-finished products commencing 1 October 2008.

With the official opening of the rolling mill in Singapore on 8 October 2007, the Wieland Group has completed its biggest ever foreign investment. The rolling mill is located on a new, bigger site in the „Jurong“ industrial area. The slitting centre and the administration area relocated to the new site last year.

The opening ceremony was attended by numerous guests including representatives from customers, suppliers and Wieland. Bernd Dautel welcomed Lee Yi Shyan, Singapore’s trade and industry minister, as guest of honour.

This investment of over 60 million euros means that Wieland Metals Singapore now has the only rolling mill for copper materials in south-east Asia, covering an area of approximately 27,000 square metres. About 160 employees work in the production, administration, sales and marketing areas.

The Wieland Group has expanded its global presence.
