We live zinc

Why our Metal Division is full of innovative power.

The Metal Division is one of the four business divisions of Grillo-Werke AG. Through our own research department and in cooperation with renowned research institutes, we develop innovative products made of zinc – in this we are a global specialist.

Why zinc? Zinc is a high-performance material used in electrical engineering, the construction industry, architecture, automobile production, mechanical engineering, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in corrosion protection. Zinc is sustainable, durable, resource-efficient, environmentally friendly and almost 100% recyclable without loss of quality.

These advantages also live on in our zinc products. Our environmentally friendly ZEP® (Zinc Extrusion Products) semi-finished products and our customised and high-performance zinc powder exemplify the innovative power of our products. But that’s not all: our product range in the Metal Division is diverse and our energy for new developments inexhaustible. So we find solutions and innovations for many different industries and numerous applications – from air-conditioning technology to the electrical industry and to the toy industry.

You can find a bit of Grillo almost everywhere!
