The future is lead-free – Our steadfast dedication to shaping a lead-free future is a testament to our commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability. We are tirelessly working to develop more eco-friendly products, as the legal requirements for avoiding lead as an alloying element have become increasingly stringent. In view of this, we are researching how to make copper alloys easier to machine and form, while ensuring properties such as conductivity and corrosion resistance are retained. In the last fiscal year, we saved a total of 1.4 million kg of lead compared with the previous year. Starting from the base year 2020/21 with 6.4 million kg of lead, we aim to reduce the lead content in alloys produced for our foundries to 4.5 million kg by 2029/30 – a reduction of 30%, which we have already nearly achieved. Last week, we launched a product line that not only aligns with our sustainability efforts but also offers significant benefits. Our lead-free machining brass, ecoline®, is a perfect example. The new product family, and eco SZ3® in particular, meets the highest industry requirements, making it an attractive alternative to leaded brass. It offers best machinability, excellent hot formability, and highest economic efficiency, paving the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future. "Customers from all over the world are already benefiting from our intensive research and development in lead-free alloys and the extensive expertise of our team. We actively support our customers in their sustainable transition from lead to lead-free alloys," says Dr. Erwin Mayr, CEO of the Wieland Group. However, these achievements are not the end of our efforts; we will continue to develop products with the least possible impact on our environment. #Wieland #WielandGroup #CreatingValueForGenerations #EnablingSustainability #LetsGoLeadFree
