Deutsche
Nickel GmbH is a
world class company in the production of Nickel and Nickel-Alloy
materials. The
Deutsche Nickel GmbH's origins date from the year 1839. At that time,
Nickel was being smelted on the Iserlohn Heath for harness and carriage
hardware, fabricated from Nickel-Silver. Today's Deutsche Nickel GmbH
was born in a period of burgeoning growth and booming industrialisation
at the end of the 19. century. In 1867 the town of Schwerte was
connected to the railway network – an important consideration
in locating the present extensive production facilities on the current
site.
From the start, the links between Deutsche Nickel GmbH and Schwerte
were close. As early as 1872, Nickel Alloy semis were being shipped
from Schwerte to customers throughout the world. In 1878, Theodor
Fleitmann, the founder of Deutsche Nickel GmbH, discovered what was
then a revolutionary breakthrough and still forms the basis for entire
Nickel processing industry – by adding Magnesium, he
succeeded in making hot Nickel suitable for rolling and forging. His
next R&D success was to roll-bond-clad Iron plate with Nickel,
Copper and their alloys. This was a unique process at that time and
remains the basis for modern cladding techniques.
Since 1992,
Deutsche Nickel GmbH has been certified as a supplier of semis. The
certification to DIN EN ISO 9001 was gained in 2004, as well as to DIN
EN ISO 16949 for automotive applications. Another milestone in the
company's quality assurance strategy was the ecological management
certification to DIN EN ISO 14001 in 2009. As a result, the
quality assurance system is found
throughout the entire administration and production.
It
represents
ultimate quality, officially and independently certified.
