Deutsches Kupferinstitut

Country: Germany
Website: http://www.kupfer-institut.de

The DKI, the German Copper Institute, is the central information and advisory service in Germany dealing with all aspects of the production, use and procurement of copper and copper alloys. We deal with everything from simple enquiries about proof of delivery documents to detailed questions about material properties that require us to comb the specialist literature. The DKI is open to anyone and everyone – commercial companies, the skilled trades, arts and handicrafts, industry, academia, students, school children and private individuals. The Institute is supported by its members – two copper smelters, which have now actually merged into one enterprise, and around 35 companies nearly all of which are semi-manufacturers. Interestingly, the DKI so far has only three member companies from within the electrical engineering sector. This is because our policy has been changed only recently as to alter this from now on for the future. Members from the electrical industry are now also welcome to join!
