"D&D" Wire Industrial and Trading Co. Ltd. and its
predecessors have been manufacturing steel wire products since their
foundation in 1912. During the plant's close to a hundred years
operation the aims of the professionals working here were to give high
level service to meet their customers' demands, manufacture modern
products, and operate economically. Market positions could be
maintained and continuously expanded only by the implementation of
continuous product, technology and equipment development. By today
D&D became the major high-strength steel wire product manufacturer
in Central-Eastern Europe.
Main products of D&D:
- Cold-drawn steel prestressing wires
- Cold-drawn stabilized prestressing wires
- Stabilized high-strength prestressing strands
- Steel wire fibres
The products of the plant are mainly used in the
building industry. Prestressing wires and strands are built in
reinforced concrete structures where big span have to be bridged and
enormous load bearing is required. (Bridges, water-bar, motorway
structures, reinforced concrete structures, filler material for beams).
Steel wire fibres are built into industrial floors and reinforced
concrete shell structures to increase the strength, resistance to
vibration and toughness of reinforced concrete structures.
The privatization in 1994 was the beginning of an era
characterised by significant development activities and followed by a
massive capital increase which resulted in the plant becoming a
joint-stock company. D&D operates as a privately owned Joint-Stock
Company since June 2006.
The company achieved its results by continuous
developments and the constant rationalization of the manufacturing
profile. The production of many 'conventional' but uneconomically
produced products has come to an end (welded nets, galvanized wires,
non-ferrous metal cables, stranded wires) while in case of other
products (tensioning wires and strands, steel wire fibres) billions of
HUF were spent to achieve product-, technology- and manufacturing
assets development. Modern machinery is now coupled with several
decades of manufacturing experience, the application of modern
production technologies and the availability of well-skilled human
resources. The manufacturing capacity of the company of the products
listed above exceeds now 100 thousand tons. 80% of the products are
exported.
D&D had the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system and ISO 14001
environmentally focused management system certified, and operates them
as an integrated system. The company proves its commitment to the
production of high-quality products and to observe the aspects of
environment protection as much as possible by operating the integrated
system.
As a result of current and recent developments the image of the
company, the opinion of the market, and the role achieved on the
domestic market and abroad have completely and favourably changed.
D&D became the biggest prestressing wire manufacturer in Eastern
Europe; it is able to compete with almost all significant European
producers of prestressing wire and strand. Its products are produced in
the required quality, in compliance with leading international
standards.
Supports obtained through tenders from the resources of the National
Development Plan and The New Hungary Development Plan play an important
role in the financing of the already implemented and planned
developments as well.
