Behind the scenes of the Ugitech factory, the thread of history

Immerse yourself in the diversity of stainless steels and alloys: over a hundred different grades offer impressive possibilities. Here, we produce stainless steel wires for welding, additive manufacturing, cold heading, forming, screw machining and rewinding down to a few microns in diameter, as well as alloy wires for anti-corrosion coatings.
Take a tour of the production lines, from wire coils to ready-to-go drums: surface treatment prior to wire rod, explanations of wire drawing (and dies), annealing furnaces, wire drawing finishing and mastery of high quality standards, winding, enfûtage. Big machines wrap you in their gentle hum; long lines of wire-drawing machines and ovens, where people and equipment rub shoulders, come into view.
From the automotive industry to household appliances, from vineyards to petanque balls, markets large and small dot the Ugitech Bourg-en-Bresse world map.
Don't miss the thread of history and the ongoing adventure of the local economy.
