Send a written inquiry
Serious trade inquiries only. Write from your company address and state diameter, temper, purity and quantity.
Nickel wire we supply
Diameter, temper, surface and purity are specified per order. If your drawing calls for a tolerance class or a specific temper, send it and we confirm feasibility in writing.

High-security bonded storage — Zurich Airport
Stock is held in high-security warehouses inside the free-trade zone at Zurich Airport, under customs supervision and monitored by dedicated security personnel. No import duties or VAT are charged while material stays in bond, access can be arranged by appointment, and quantities are not a constraint.
Logistics — air, sea, land and express
Located directly at the airport, spools and coils are checked in and dispatched quickly. Air freight, overseas shipping, land transport and express deliveries are organised in-house, and palletised cargo is handled on site.
Documentation
Every spool ships with a certificate of analysis showing chemistry on a metals basis, plus dimensional report, temper and tensile data, RoHS/REACH statements, safety data sheet and customs documents on request.
Tolerances and surface
Bright annealed, as-drawn or oxide-free surface, standard drawn tolerances with tighter classes on request, straightened cut lengths, and clean packaging for cleanroom and vacuum applications.
How we work
- You send a written inquiry with diameter, temper, purity, quantity and application.
- A specialist checks availability in bond and replies in writing with specification and documentation.
- You confirm; we prepare spooling, documents and the shipping route that suits your customs situation.
Frequently asked questions
- Which diameters are available?
- From roughly 0.02 mm fine filament up to several millimetres. Very fine diameters are supplied on precision spools with controlled traverse to avoid kinking.
- Which purity should I ask for?
- 99.5% and 99.9% cover general engineering and plating anodes; 99.98% (Nickel 200/201) is the standard for battery tabs, thermocouple legs and vacuum parts; 99.99% and above serve evaporation sources and analytical work.
- Do I pay import duties or VAT?
- Not while the material remains in bonded storage. Duties and VAT become due only when goods are cleared into free circulation in the destination country, so the customs position depends on your delivery terms.
- Can you weld-test or match a drawing?
- Send the drawing or your internal specification. We confirm in writing whether stock or a production lot meets diameter, tolerance, temper and surface requirements.
- Can I call you?
- We work in writing only. It keeps specifications and commitments documented for both sides, and a specialist normally replies within one business day.
- What quantities do you handle?
- From a single trial spool to recurring tonnage call-offs reserved in bonded storage.
