Wire Rod

Wire Rod is hot rolled steel wire, normally wound in coils , it is available in a variety of grades and sizes. The predominant application of wire rod is in drawing activities for downstream steel sector, mainly for the manufacturing of nails, welded mesh, binding wire, welding electrode, steel coring for armored cables, fasteners, chain link, gabion fencing, wire nets , barbed wire etc.

We offer a range of grades and sizes for wire rods, listed in the table below, however if there is any special requirement we can surely accommodate it.
