A personalized approach

We have high tensile wires with ideal mechanical properties, including excellent ductility, high tensile strength and coatings for corrosion resistance. Choose from two types of coatings -  zinc and our own zinc aluminum coating, Bezinal® to upgrade the wire's corrosion resistance. Bekaert offers tailor-made solutions, flexible deliveries and on-site technical support.
