Technology driven by people

For many years, Continuus-Properzi S.p.A. has participated in wire & Tube Düsseldorf — and this year will once again exhibit from April 13 to 17. The exhibition represents an important opportunity to meet long-standing customers as well as new partners, and exchange ideas on the technologies and upgrades required in a constantly evolving industry.

Since introducing the continuous casting and rolling process for non-ferrous rod in the 1940s, Continuus-Properzi has continuously developed technologies for the production of aluminum and copper wire rod. Today, the company provides complete production lines, including furnaces, casting equipment, rolling mills, and double spoolers, supporting customers worldwide.

High-efficiency copper and aluminum rod production technologies

Continuus-Properzi’s technology enables the production of high-quality aluminum and copper wire rod globally. In the case of copper, rod can be produced either from cathodes or from 100% low-grade copper scrap, while still achieving excellent final product standards.

Through its FRHC technology, CO₂ emissions along the copper value chain can be reduced by supporting the use of recycled and green copper through Properzi Refining Technology. In addition, the innovative SAM (Self-Annealing Microrolling®) technology can process 8 mm copper rod down to 1.8 – 2 mm soft wire without the need for an annealer. This results in significant energy savings — up to 7,000 kg of CO₂ equivalent per ton of FRHC copper rod produced from 100% scrap.

The company’s product portfolio also includes the “Pro-Form” continuous rotary extrusion system, suitable for a wide range of applications in both the copper and aluminum sectors.

Furnaces for aluminum and copper plants are also provided:

• Vert-Melt®, for aluminum lines, combining a vertical melting furnace with a static receiving/holding chamber
• Vert-Ref® reverberatory furnace
• Shaft + holding furnaces for copper lines

Upon request, Continuus-Properzi can integrate fume treatment systems, further strengthening its Furnaces and Combustion Division.

After-sales services and customer-oriented approach

Efficient after-sales service is an integral part of the corporate culture. On-site technical assistance, remote consulting, and spare parts supply ensure operational continuity. Equipment on an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) basis is also available upon request, allowing customers to benefit from a streamlined installation process.

“Above all, we believe our work is not only about technology. It is about collaboration, shared expertise, and long-term partnerships — building connections that last, much like the continuous rod produced by our lines,” states Aurora Tedaldi, Marketing & Brand Communication Coordinator.

The company looks forward to welcoming visitors in Hall 11 – Stand F40.
