How We Streamline Wire and Strip Manufacturing

Customers will benefit from the consolidation of Materion’s strip and wire manufacturing at its Wheatfield, NY facility.  While this location previously supported Albuquerque, New Mexico’s production of industrial products for over 15 years, it will now assume full manufacturing responsibility.  Capabilities include the manufacture of braze, pure metal strip and wire along with atomized powder. 

To ensure our customers receive the highest quality products with shorter lead times, a dynamic floor plan with work cells was developed. This allows operators to manufacture product in the most efficient and safe manner using streamlined processes and equipment upgraded/refurbished equipment.

Another advantage of the compressed manufacturing footprint in Wheatfield is that it allows Materion to more effectively utilize our metal resources.  By controlling metal inventory at a level that maximizes productivity, we can reduce costs associated with precious metal production and fewer transports to the facility.
