Europe’s leading supplier of sustainable copper wire
Elcowire Group is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of copper and aluminum wire products for electrification and infrastructure. With over 70 years of experience and production facilities in Sweden and Germany, the company plays a key role in energy transmission, including high-voltage cables and railway electrification.
Elcowire has a strong sustainability agenda and was among the first in the industry to declare its carbon footprint across all three scopes. Now, through its groundbreaking partnership with Meva Energy, Elcowire is now set to become the world’s first copper wire manufacturer to achieve fossil-free production in scopes 1 and 2, reinforcing its position as a pioneer in the green transition.
The agreement builds on a successful feasibility study and specifies that Meva Energy will design, own, and operate an on-site energy plant capable of producing 9 MW of renewable biogas for Elcowire’s Helsingborg facility over a 15-year period.
