COMPETENCE IN MATERIALSWhatever material youhave in mind, we knoweverything about it – asif we‘d made it ourselves.The unique materials expertise of OTTO FUCHS is acornerstone of the business’ success. The developmentof new materials has been of central importance sincethe very beginnings of the company. This is becausecustomers have to stand their ground in a competitiveenvironment which brings with it ever greater requirementsin terms of product characteristics that can only be metthrough improved or new materials. Due to this, lightweightyet high strength materials have often come to act as afocus. They serve to reduce the energy input and this reducesmaterial costs, weight and volume.Very early on we recognised that it is not enough to planthe shape of a component. As such, the material is alsoindividually adjusted to the respective application and optimisedwhere necessary.Today, the wealth of experience that has built up over manydecades enables us to offer customers a range of materialproperties that cannot be found elsewhere. The wide rangeof materials on offer incorporates 150 aluminium, magnesium,titanium, nickel and copper alloys. If customersneed optimised characteristics for specific applications,this is often a starting point for the new development ofan application based material. Our modern strand castingfacility does not just ensure efficiency and quality in termsof production, it also ensures the constant availability of theindividual materials in the various dimensions, at all times.12 OTTO FUCHSwithdrawal of a samplein the brass foundry atViersen-Dülken
