This affiliation forms the basis of aboveaverage growth to create a supplier that is a world leader in its core businesses.

2 Innovative by tradition buntmetall amstetten was founded in 1904 and, with sites in Amstetten and Enzesfeld, it is one of the most modern producers of semifinished and finished parts in Europe. Every year, more than 40,000 tons of copper and copper alloy products leave our factories. As part of the Wieland Group, buntmetall represents continuity and reliability. This affiliation forms the basis of aboveaverage growth to create a supplier that is a world leader in its core businesses. The CERTEC brand represents our bars, which can be used in the electrical field, as well as in other industrial fields and is indicative of our high technical standard. CERTEC Copper Bars in HighTECH Quality... together for our customers Internal production material supply from our own foundry, press plant and drawing mill in Amstetten and Vohringen Wide spectrum of alloys The most uptodate turning and milling machines with special clamping systems A wide range of types for flexible batch sizes and the highest delivery reliability Longestablished customer relationships and sound expertise Production is carried out with 100% renewable energy without CO2 emissions 2

3 CERTEC Copper Bars Production area Our production incorporates a large range of rods. The high technical and quality requirements of the products are fulfilled through careful production planning, tool manufacturing that is set out and controlled by CAD/CAM, modern production plants and test facilities, as well as well qualified and highly trained and committed staff. Strict checks during the entire production process up to delivery, ensure a consistently high quality standard for these products. An important precondition of targeted cooperation with our customers is that wishes and intended use are defined precisely in order to provide adequate quality. 3

11 CERTEC Copper Bars The most uptodate production Copper cast bolts and copper wire are used as source materials for production. These are processed into tubes, bars, wires, profi les and fi nal products ready for installation. CERTEC copper solid materials for use in the electrical industry are manufactured on our copper bar production lines, equipped according to the most uptodate guidelines. Production using environmentally friendly power As natural as the material of our products is, our production is also environmentally friendly. By using hydropower, we save around 18,000 tons of CO2 per year by comparison with other European countries. We primarily use European largescale hydroelectric power as a source of energy, complemented with wind energy, solid / liquid biomass and solar power in the energy mix.
