It's a long way from raw material to key.

In the first stage of design (cold drawing), we can find different raw materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and nickel alloys. Each material has its own specificity and function, and with a large number of references, we are able to respond to all fastener requirements with our finished product, the key. Our choice of materials is determined by the quality and strength of our keys.
