Metal wire
Company Overview and Heritage
Fisk Alloy, established in 1973, is a leading innovator in high-performance copper alloy wire and conductor solutions. With its global headquarters in Hawthorne, New Jersey, USA, and a manufacturing facility, Fisk Alloy GmbH, in Finnentrop, Germany, the company leverages over five decades of expertise. Fisk Alloy is dedicated to customer success, providing innovative and sustainable solutions, and is supported by a diverse and collaborative workforce.
Advanced Products and Services
Fisk Alloy specializes in custom copper alloy wires and conductors, offering traditional and advanced solutions for connectors, electronic parts, wire, cable, and high-performance shielding. Their product range includes RoHS compliant alloy conductors like the Percon® series (e.g., Percon® 28) and the enhanced copper nickel silicon alloy 7E25. They supply a wide array of wire shapes—round (down to 0.0124mm / 56 AWG), square, rectangular, and flat—with precise dimensions. Fisk Alloy provides sophisticated reel-to-reel electroplating services for copper, gold, nickel, silver, and tin, including multi-layered combinations and an Advanced Tin Barrier (ATB) system. Their Mechanical Reflow process refines plated wire finishes, and specialized layer-level winding techniques facilitate efficient customer production runs with large reels.
Innovation and Technical Excellence
Innovation is central to Fisk Alloy's operations, often driven by specific customer needs. Notable achievements include pioneering cadmium-free, high-strength alloy conductors, developing proprietary strip-to-wire conversion technology, and engineering processes for pore-free precious metal surfaces. An in-house machine shop allows for rapid development of specialized equipment, enhancing manufacturing precision. Fisk Alloy excels in producing ultra-fine gauge wires, drawn as thin as 12 microns, which are then stranded to create highly flexible systems critical for miniaturization in modern electronics.
Industry Applications and Quality Commitment
Fisk Alloy's advanced wire solutions serve demanding industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical. For aerospace, they supply lightweight and high vibration-resistant alloys for critical components. In the automotive sector, their wires support e-mobility and EV infrastructure, ensuring reliable connections. The electronics industry benefits from their fine gauge wires for miniaturized components, while medical applications rely on their RoHS compliant conductors for high-reliability devices. The company maintains stringent quality standards, holding certifications like AS9100, RoHS, and REACH, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainable and high-quality manufacturing.
