Catenary wires

Lamifil ensures the high quality of our alloy catenary wires by starting with raw materials and controlling the manufacturing process all the way to completed products, whilst testing at every stage. Our copper alloys are thus the result of our extensive metallurgical expertise and experience, and allow our customers to select them with certainty and confidence.

Our flexible railway services complement overhead line solutions with customised marking, stamping, and packaging options. Advanced traceability, anti-theft measures, and clear identification support secure installation and maintenance throughout the asset lifecycle. Optimised packaging and specially designed drums reduce transport costs and improve on-site handling, enabling faster installation, higher reliability, and smoother execution of railway electrification projects.

Our railway solutions support reliable, energy-efficient electrification through advanced overhead line equipment, including contact and messenger wires. At the core of our catenary offering is PowerFil®, a high-performance, cadmium-free alloy delivering 23% higher conductivity than CuMg 0.5. This reduces energy losses and CO₂ emissions, boosts efficiency, increases rail capacity, and optimizes copper usage for modern, sustainable rail networks worldwide.
