Aurubis and Aurubis and NKT strengthen partnership with multi-year supply agreement  

Aurubis and NKT have entered into a multi-year agreement for the supply of copper products across the European value chain. Under the agreement, Aurubis will supply several NKT production sites in Europe with low-carbon copper Wire ROD primarily used in high-voltage cables.

“For critical infrastructure applications such as High-Voltage cables, customers need more than a supplier — they need a partner that combines consistent high product quality with reliable delivery and a deep understanding of industrial requirements,” said Ricardo Dos Santos Sousa, Area Sales Manager Sales Copper Products at Aurubis. “This agreement underlines Aurubis’ role as a dependable partner for strategically important metals in Europe.” 

For NKT, resilient supply chains and reliable access to high‑quality, low‑carbon copper play an important role in executing projects that support the energy transition. For Aurubis, the agreement underscores its role as a dependable partner for customers with demanding industrial applications and complex supply requirements. This is particularly relevant in a market environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, increasing resilience requirements, and the need for stable European supply chains.  

“High-performance cable solutions depend on materials that meet demanding standards and are available with a high level of reliability,” said Martin Helbo Texel, Vice President of Category Management Direct Materials at NKT. “Our collaboration with Aurubis supports us in delivering to customers in an important segment of Europe’s energy infrastructure.” 

The agreement also reflects the two companies’ shared ambition to advance more sustainable value chains. Guided by „Tomorrow Metals“ customer sustainability promise, the partnership follows a holistic approach that combines responsible sourcing, stronger circularity, greater resource efficiency, and further decarbonization with a clear low-carbon approach across the value chain — from sourcing to end application.

“Sustainability and resilience increasingly go hand in hand,” said Tanja Winter, Head of Sales Rod at Aurubis.“Together with NKT, we want to further strengthen a value chain that combines industrial performance with responsible resource use.” 

With this agreement, Aurubis and NKT are deepening a collaboration built on quality, reliability, and a shared ambition to support Europe’s energy transition.
