Stahl- und Drahtwerk Roeslau


Highest-Quality Wire
Our corporate identity is defined by a single standard:
Supreme Quality in everything we do - from the development and manufacture of our products and solutions to sales and services.
For over 130 years Stahl- und Drahtwerk Röslau has been the go-to name for patented or oil-tempered spring steel wires (Roeslau Wire GmbH & Co. KG) and music wire. We are united not only by a passion for our products but also by close, reliable relationships of our employees with customers, suppliers, the media, and all other business partners.
We offer wire in a wide variety of specifications - reliable, durable, and always of the highest quality. In doing so, we bridge the gap between a comprehensive commitment to quality and sustainable value for our customers.
After all, reliability, safety, and durability define everything we do. This commitment has always united us and is embodied in our slogan:
“highest-quality wire”
Research and Development
Stahl- und Drahtwerk Roeslau

Foundations for Innovation
Research and development (R&D) have always held a high priority at Stahl- und Drahtwerk Röslau. They create the basis for innovation and make a significant contribution to the development of new materials, manufacturing processes, and products - particularly in the areas of oil-tempered valve spring steel wire (Roeslau Wire GmbH & Co. KG), high-strength spring steel wire, and music wire.
Initiatives for these developments often arise from current market demands or the specific needs of our customers. Furthermore the Product and Process Development department (Technical Customer Support) conducts targeted trials and R&D projects independently of day-to-day operations. Some of these initiatives address issues that extend beyond Stahl- und Drahtwerk Röslau's traditional core competencies. This creates new perspectives and opportunities to continuously expand the company's product and service portfolio, tap into new business areas, and sustainably strengthen its competitiveness.
For specialised development projects - such as those aimed at improving material properties or optimizing spring characteristics - Stahl- und Drahtwerk Röslau collaborates closely with renowned technical universities, including the Technical Universities of Ilmenau, Freiberg, and Darmstadt. This exchange of expertise and collaborative research generates valuable impetus for innovative solutions and the ongoing advancement of our products.
The future in our sights
We worked on these R & D projects:
| 1. | Optimization of the tempering process for SiCr alloyed spring steel wire in combination with the thermal treatment of highly resilient springs manufactured thereof |
| 2. | Function and production relevant parameters for spring steel wire and steel tape |
| 3. | Impact of coatings on running performance and deformability behavior of spring steel wires on spring coiling machines |
| 4. | Analysis of the impact of materials and production on the VHCF behavior of helical compression springs |
| 5. | Optimization of the strength and deformability behavior of SiCr alloyed oil-tempered spring steel wires, aiming to improve their processing and application properties |
| 6. | Patented cold drawn steel wires for primarily statically stressed springs with improved performance characteristics |
| 7. | Very high cycle fatigue behavior of helical compression springs |
| 8. | Long term stability of the mechanical parameters of patented drawn steel wires |
| 9. | Evaluation of fatigue resistance and relaxation diagrams for highly stressed helical compression springs |
| 10. | Technology for the further development of the quality and processability of spring wire through knowledge of its deformability behavior |
