Company profile

ASTA manufactures high-quality insulated winding material made of copper for electrical engineering in the high-energy sector, so-called Roebel bar conductors for transformers, and Roebel rods for generators. In these areas, ASTA occupies a leading position worldwide.

At our location in Oed, Austria, round wire is formed into flat wires and shaped with hundredths of millimeter accuracy, to customer specifications, insulated with special lacquer, paper or mesh tape and processed into bundle conductors.

Globally active large corporations, such as ABB, SIEMENS, GE, are satisfied regular customers of ASTA. The company focuses on quality and not on volume. As a result, ASTA is able to fulfill individual customer requests promptly and to offer tailor-made solutions.
