Technology Driven by People

Continuus-Properzi pioneered the process of continuously casting and rolling nonferrous rod in the 1940s and today is the global leader for nonferrous wire rod production equipment offering complete lines including furnaces, casting equipment, rolling equipment and double spoolers. 

Our technology enables the production of high-quality aluminium and copper wire rod worldwide.

In the case of copper, rod can be produced either from cathodes or from 100% low-quality copper scrap, while still achieving excellent final product standards.

Through our FRHC technology, we contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions along the copper value chain by supporting the use of recycled and green copper through Properzi Refining Technology. In addition, with our innovative SAM (Self-Annealing Microrolling®) technology, we process 8 mm copper rod down to 1.8–2 mm soft wire without the need for an annealer. This results in significant energy savings — up to 7,000 kg CO₂ equivalent per ton of FRHC copper rod produced from 100% scrap.

Our product portfolio also includes the “Pro-Form” continuous rotary extrusion system, suitable for a wide range of applications in both the copper and aluminium sectors.

We also manufacture furnaces for aluminium and copper plants:

• Vert-Melt®, for aluminium lines, combining a vertical melting furnace with a static receiving/holding chamber
• Vert-Ref® reverberatory furnace
• Shaft + Holding furnaces for copper lines
Upon request, we integrate fumes treatment systems, further completing our Furnaces and Combustion Division.
Efficient after-sales service is an integral part of our corporate culture. We provide on-site technical assistance, remote consultancy, and spare parts supply to ensure operational continuity. We can also supply equipment on an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) basis, allowing customers to rely on a streamlined installation process.
Above all, we believe our work is not only about technology. It is about collaboration, shared expertise, and long-term partnerships — building connections that last, much like the continuous rod produced by our lines.
