Eder Engineering-Austria celebrates its 80th anniversary!
Requirements change, but the goal remains the same

Founded in 1946, Eder Engineering-Austria is now celebrating its 80th anniversary and has long been recognised as a pioneer and technology leader in supplying the international wire and cable industry with many products and technologies that were new and outstanding at the time and remain so today.


He began with the production of carbide drawing tools, later adding natural diamond dies and soon after that, the design and construction of drawing die processing machines.
Shortly after the end of the Second World War, these products were in demand everywhere, leading to a significant expansion in production and exports abroad, initially to neighbouring countries such as Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia, etc. "At that time, production consisted of approximately 80% drawing tools, 15% machines and 5% technical assistance.
The company then achieved a pioneering position at the end of the 1960s after the son of the company's founder, Dr Kurt Eder, succeeded in producing the first Compax/PCD drawing tools and manufacturing them with a specially designed new line of more powerful devices.
Eder-Austria's portfolio soon shifted to the construction of modern processing machines and software. With semi- and fully-automated concepts for the manufacture and repair of ultra-hard precision tools made of tungsten carbide, natural diamond and synthetic PCD, Eder Engineering now serves regularly customers in more than 80 countries with an export quota of around 98%.
Regular maintenance of drawing tools is essential for the production of wire of consistently high quality. Since tens of thousands of expensive diamond/PCD drawing tools are in continuous use in wire drawing mills and cable factories today - especially in multi-wire drawing - a high degree of automation of these machines is required and plays a very important role today in keeping the costs of efficient repairing of drawing tools low, making all processes easy to carry out and minimising the expensive use of specially trained human personnel.
Dr Eder's insistence on ongoing innovation keeps the company at the forefront. ‘The requirements of the global wire and cable industry are constantly changing, and it is crucial for us to keep reinventing the wheel, so to speak,’ he says. The next generation of the Eder family is already in the starting blocks, ready to continue the success of 80 years of service to the international wire and cable industry, primarily with technically advanced equipment for the economically optimal processing of all ultra-hard precision drawing tools.

The original goal remains unchanged: satisfied customers worldwide.
