PRODUCT Showcase

Axjo America: Growing big and green!

Axjo America is growing, and so is the product base: at Interwire we will introduce you to our new U.S.made reels. The range of reels are manufactured from polymer materials that satisfy and exceed the demands made on equivalent products made of plywood and wood. They can be used for a wide range of product applications, including building wires, telecom wires, fiber-optic cables and microducts.

So, what makes them special? Our reels stem from our Greenology Concept that gives our customers added value and support in a world where specially adapted and environmentally optimized solutions are stan- dard. Greenology is the result of our long-term aspiration to be a sustainable global partner. With a market presence in 58 countries and production units in four different locations around the world, we strive to minimize our carbon footprint.

We seek new opportunities to develop products, production methods and production facilities for a better circular society by using recycled materials and contributing to a closed loop. Best part? Greenology materials have up to 78% lower footprint compared to virgin materials!

Axjo has exceptional knowledge, high-tech production methods and U.S. made products, but it also seeks to be a positive presence in the world we live in. A packaging solution from Axjo is developed here and now, designed to work today and in the future. of a hydrogen or inert atmosphere. Both custom and standard furnaces are available.
