about us

At home in the world.

we are a family-run business in the heart of germany, and an experienced partner in the field of innovation.

it is only in veilsdorf, thuringia, that you will find every stage in the manufacture of extra-fine wire, from advising clients and developing products to quality assurance. from our base here, we can deliver to any country in europe within twelve hours. our certification as a known consignor means we can fly our products to every continent quickly and securely.

our three agencies in asia and our trade links with north america allow us to advise our clients knowledgeably and provide a rapid service on an international level.

a total of one hundred employees are engaged in research and development, production, quality assurance, marketing, administration, process optimisation and purchasing.

ongoing research and development ensures that we will be able to continue supplying the same high quality for which we are renowned in the future. ELSCHUKOM leads to new ideas – and has done so for more than 25 years.

Always one step ahead.

we are an innovative company, and have been for more than 25 years. we owe our long-term success to our inability to rest on our laurels, and to the new contacts we have developed. thanks to our investment in new technologies, we are now able to offer our clients a wide range of wire products. our various certifications and process optimisations make us an effective partner, able to supply nearly anywhere on earth at the drop of a hat.
