Copper and Copper Alloys

Copper and Copper Alloys

Copper and copper alloys are essential materials across electrical, automotive, infrastructure, renewable energy and industrial manufacturing sectors. Their high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, strength and recyclability make them critical to modern economies.

At Gravita, we are building capabilities in the copper and copper alloys segment as part of our long-term strategy to expand our non-lead portfolio and strengthen our position in sustainable metal solutions.

What are Copper and Copper Alloys?

Pure copper is widely used for electrical and thermal applications due to its excellent conductivity. Copper alloys are formed by combining copper with other elements such as zinc, tin, nickel or aluminium to enhance specific properties.

Common copper alloy families include:

• Brass (Copper–Zinc): Used in electrical components, fittings and automotive parts
• Bronze (Copper–Tin): Used in bearings, bushings and industrial machinery
• Copper-Nickel Alloys: Used in marine, heat exchangers and chemical applications

These alloys offer improved strength, wear resistance and durability while retaining copper’s recyclability.

Applications Across Industries

Copper and copper alloys are used in:

·         Electrical and electronic components

·         Automotive and EV systems

·         Power transmission and renewable energy

·         Industrial equipment and engineering products

·         Construction and infrastructure

Their ability to be recycled multiple times without loss of properties makes them a key material for circular economy models.

Our Focus Area

Gravita’s expansion into copper and copper alloys is aimed at:

·         Diversifying metal offerings beyond lead and aluminium

·         Supporting customers with reliable and responsible metal supply

·         Leveraging synergies across procurement, processing, and logistics

·         Strengthening circular and sustainable manufacturing practices

Detailed product specifications, grades, and technical data will be shared as this vertical progresses.

Commitment to Responsible Metals

Recycling and resource efficiency are central to Gravita’s operations. Our approach to copper and copper alloys will align with our broader commitment to environmental compliance, quality assurance, and responsible sourcing.

Note: This vertical is under development. Further updates will be shared as operations and product offerings are integrated.
