Group of Companies
We work local and think global.
The DDD Group of Companies is a worldwide network of specialised companies with extensive expertise in wire and its multifaceted applications.
Many impulses from all over the world form our joint efforts.
Steel wire – drawn, heat-treated and surface-finished
Our company specializes in the production of steel wire. The industrial applications of our wires are numerous, starting as pre-material for fasteners and fixings, as well as for electrical and thermal applications. In our workshops, we draw iron wires with diverse characteristics and steel wires from wire-rod. To extend the lifetime of your products, we provide surface finishing in the form of metallic and lacquered coatings. Especially for the graphic industry, we produce high-quality stitching wire for magazine printers or similar and spiral binding wire for book and leaf binding. Also, as a strategic partner of the automotive industry, we manufacture high-quality wire products according to special quality requirements, such as mesh products for gas filtration in airbags.
We are manufacturers of wire mesh, stainless steel mesh, and many more.
The production of wire cloth is another major focus of our work – whether for industry, construction or other industries. For more than 60 years we are manufacturers of wire cloth using automatic weaving machines. We have weaving mills all over the world – in Dorsten, the Czech Republic, and China – and can economically produce a metal mesh of a high technical standard. This includes corrosion and heat resistant stainless steel wire mesh with a mesh opening of a few µm up to 20 mm. The wire mesh can be stable or flexible, as well as open or dense, fine or coarse. Besides, we use other weavable metals, such as brass, copper, or iron. With MeshArt™ we offer exceptional architectural meshes, which are suitable for diverse decorative and functional applications.
High-quality filter cloth for different filtering tasks
We offer various filter cloths to meet different requirements. Filtration enables the separation of individual media and takes place as surface, depth, or cake filtration, depending on the task. Our production range includes, among others, the classic filter medium metal mesh, which impresses with stable and uniform mesh openings and pores. The sintered mesh laminate SinterPore™, in turn, offers optimized application possibilities for individual filter mesh layers by combining the advantages of metal filter mesh with new characteristics. We supply SinterPore™ filter elements for special applications such as oil and gas exploration or power plants. Also, we manufacture melt filters for polymer and plastic extrusion, air filters with fine mesh and large air passage, and filter inserts for plants in all industries.
Products for screening technology as well as woven and welded meshes
Also, our manufacturing program includes screen cloth as square mesh according to ISO 9044 and ISO 4783 in widths up to 3,000 mm, screens made of woven mesh or with tensioning seams as well as many other products for sifting technology. Furthermore, with 50 years of experience, we manufacture welded wire mesh or spot welded mesh for the high-tech industry, construction, and agriculture – as well as woven wire mesh in a wide range of variants. The latter is used for screening, protecting, carrying and many other fields.
