Copper

The glossy metal

It is used in many areas in electrical engineering and installation technology as an excellent electrical and heat conductor. Another feature is its good formability, which makes copper a popular material for artists. It is also very popular as a material for coins.

Copper is often used as an intermediate layer in chrome plating processes in electroplating. This process is also used at Rieger in addition to others, such as the direct copper plating of metals. Fully automated machines and a manual system are available for both processes. A further advantage at Rieger is the in-house polishing workshop where high-quality materials can be polished.
