The climate is subject to alarming change around the world. Floods, mudslides, melting glaciers and dropping groundwater levels are just some of the problems that mankind is facing today. Environmental protection concerns us all and any contribution towards reducing damaging greenhouse gas emissions is a step into the right direction. When you stop and consider that world energy consumption has doubled since 1970, you will realise that the time has come to change the way we think and act. Energy efficiency is a must if we want the environment to remain habitable for future generations.

Peterseim Metallwerke, headquartered in Olpe, Germany, is known worldwide as a specialist in seamless drawn tubes made from aluminium and brass.

For many years we have impressed our customers with the outstanding quality of the seamless drawn tubes we manufacture with special care and precision. The drawing of the tubes is the first step towards achieving high-quality products. From the tube drawing line, the tubes – mainly in standard dimensions of up to six metres in length – are transported for further processing and finishing, either at Peterseim or on the customer’s premises.

At Peterseim we have traditionally attached great importance to investments, which are seen as valuable building blocks for safeguarding the future. Continuous technical improvements, especially for maintaining a consistent standard in the precision and quality of seamless drawn tubes and tube products, are part of our constant process.
At the beginning of 2011, some 130,000 EUR were invested in the refurbishment of the pickling and washing plant. The new pickling and washing basins leap to the eye; however the refurbishment work, which is not immediately visible, is even more interesting. It includes complete refurbishment of the concrete of the pickling bunds and the surrounding area, including the application of a special coating which prevents permanently the penetration of liquids into the concrete. The tubes for the heating circuit and the fresh water supply have been replaced by new installations which comply with the latest environmental protection standards.
Now the pickling and washing operations in the production process can be carried out safely, reliably and cleanly. This applies to both product quality and environmental protection, two very important areas which are in harmony in our company.
