Supply chain management - more in every dimension
How are metal availability and logistics systemically secured?Copper prices fluctuate. Supply chains come under pressure. For manufacturers of electric motors or transformers, this means one thing above all: production risk.
SHWire therefore combines three levels of supply into one system:
- Metal management for predictable material costs
- Logistics processes for stable delivery times
- Customized solutions for your production

How are metal availability and logistics systemically secured?
Manufacturers of electric motors, transformers and electrical components are currently facing several parallel challenges in the supply of materials:
- fluctuating copper prices make costing more difficult
- volatile markets influence material availability
- Global supply chains increase planning risks
- Production processes react sensitively to delivery deviations
A stable supply is therefore not achieved through stock levels or short-term procurement alone. The interaction between several levels of the supply chain is crucial.
SHWire combines metal management, logistics processes and customer-specific supply concepts to create an integrated supply system.
Metal management
Predictable material costs and guaranteed copper availability form the basis of stable supply chains.
SHWire creates transparency and planning security through direct access to the metal market, strategic purchasing and structured price hedging.
Digital logistics processes
Efficient logistics processes combine production planning, warehousing and shipping into a coordinated system.
Automated processes enable fast response times, transparent delivery planning and stable delivery dates.
Customized solutions
Every production process has its own requirements for material provision and delivery cycles.
Packaging, labeling and delivery models are therefore individually tailored to our customers' processes.
We trade copper -
and thus secure the cost base of our customers
Copper is the biggest cost factor in the electrical industry. Price fluctuations therefore have a direct impact on your project calculations and series costs. Our metal management ensures that this factor is manageable: with direct access to the LME, in-depth market expertise and an experienced trading team.
LME - Direct access to the global metal market
Our experienced trading team, headed by Michael Wieland, works directly on the London Metal Exchange (LME).
Beat Your Budget - achieving your budget targets when purchasing copper
By systematically observing the market and using price signals, we actively help you to undercut your defined budget prices and optimize cost blocks.
Strategic hedging - actively hedging price risks
We use hedging models, currency management and long-term planning strategies to strategically secure prices, quantities and qualities for you.
With our newsletter and podcast, we create transparency and decision-making security through well-founded market analyses.
Stable and transparent delivery processes for supplying our customers
Reliable logistics processes also ensure security of supply. Our processes are fully digitalized from order receipt to dispatch and fully integrated into our ERP system to eliminate information disruptions.
Four elements ensure stable logistics processes at SHWire:
1. fully automated high-bay warehouse
An autonomously controlled high-bay warehouse with over 20,000 pallet spaces controls material movements in real time.
2. high process performance
With a capacity of up to 2,800 orders per day, we ensure stable processing even when demand fluctuates.
3. poka-yoke principle
All storage and shipping processes are designed according to the poka-yoke principle to systematically avoid errors.
4. track & trace
Full ERP integration enables transparent tracking of all material movements along the supply chain.
Logistics solutions only unfold their full benefits when they fit in with our customers' production processes. Material provision, packaging and labeling must be precisely coordinated with assembly, production and warehouse processes.
SHWire therefore combines standardized logistics processes with customer-specific solutions for smooth integration into your production.
100 % individual labeling
Your labels are only generated digitally during the shipping process. This allows us to adapt layouts, barcodes and data structures precisely to your logistics or assembly processes.
Functional packaging solutions
From IEC standards to individual solutions including kit setting - we bundle components in such a way that they can flow into your production ready for immediate assembly.
Synchronized inventory models
Whether Kanban, VMI or just-in-time - our call-off and delivery logics precisely follow your demand curve and planning logic.
What matters to our customers in the supply chain
"When we talk to our customers about their supply chains, the same points come up again and again: reliable material availability, stable and transparent delivery processes and the confidence that they can rely on their partners. This is exactly what we have geared our supply chain system at SHWire towards."
