Aurubis BARS&PROFILES
Aurubis BARS & PROFILES provides copper solutions for electrical power systems as well as generators, substations, distribution systems, switchgear, and conductor systems. We provide copper products for medical systems and different areas of research that use electricity to create magnetic fields. Other applications include AC and DC motors as well as induction furnaces in which metals are heated for smelting.
Basis for sophisticated applications
Aurubis FOXROD copper rod from our own production is used as a preliminary product for Aurubis BARS&PROFILES. This rod is processed into bars and profiles with the help of a continuous extrusion process.
The products have excellent properties for applications in a variety of sectors. These properties include high electrical conductivity and high copper content of at least 99.9 %. Our copper profiles also feature smooth surfaces and the tightest of tolerances. The profiles can be processed by bending and coating.
Extrusion tools give each bar and profile its shape. Because our tools are produced in-house, throughput times can be kept very short from the first drawing to the manufactured profile, even with new profiles. Complex profiles with maximum cross-sections up to 2000 mm2.

Tomorrow Metals by Aurubis
Multimetal supplier Aurubis produces high-quality metals as well as semi-finished and finished products at its plants and production facilities as it pursues its mission to become the world’s most sustainable smelter network. We not only have an enormously high-quality approach to our own semi-finished and finished products; our focus on sustainability and the environment has been a daily incentive to us to continue improving for more than two decades. With our new label, Tomorrow Metals by Aurubis, we indicate that sustainability plays a role in all our activities. The four pillars of environmental protection, awareness of our carbon footprint, recycling and responsibility – for people as well as the supply chain – serve as guiding principles to help us achieve the goals we have set for ourselves. As a result, customers acquire products that are not only excellent quality but also sustainable and low-emission, as a basis for processing along the entire supply chain.
Recycling and production process
Aurubis - a customer-oriented partner
Aurubis produces a wide range of metals and semi-finished products and makes an important contribution to the circular economy through multimetal recycling. Supply security is ensured through fully integrated production from anodes to cathodes to copper products. This is also reflected by redundancies with four ROD plants and four tankhouses.
The metal extraction processes at Aurubis are continuously improved so they remain state-of-the-art. We draw on the unique expertise of our specialists in the extraction, processing and recycling of metals and complex compounds.
Aurubis is a solidly positioned MDAX company and is thus a strong, financially sound copper supplier for the long term. We offer customer-specific price hedging solutions with full pricing transparency.
Aurubis offers customers an option called copper on account (Wandelkupfer), which enables them to secure supplies for their own supply chain using copper positions. Customers can flexibly procure copper from Aurubis and provide it to their own suppliers through copper accounts.
For Aurubis, responsible corporate governance is an integral contribution to securing the company's future. The 2030 sustainability targets establish the framework for this purpose. They are a component of the Aurubis corporate strategy and are divided into the focus areas People, Environment, and Economy.
