Hagener Feinstahl · Member of the BenderWire Group
A family-owned German wire-drawing mill since 1932 — we draw the wire you order ourselves. Cold heading wire and bending wire in stainless steel, made to order in your grade, your dimension and your quantity.
0.20 – 14.00 mm
Diameter range
Drawn, heat-treated and finished in Hagen — one supplier across the full range.
≈ 1,500 t
Monthly output
Around 100 employees, three shifts, 24/5 — with weekend shifts when needed.
€ 65 M
Annual revenue
Small enough for special requests, large enough for high volumes.
Fast
Lead times
A large stock of wire rod lets us start production straight away. Delivery cycles as short as three weeks for standard grades.
Stainless steel wire in the grade, diameter and quantity your process actually calls for — no more, no less. About two thirds of our output goes into the cold-heading industry.
For fasteners, screws and cold-formed parts.
Stainless wire drawn and conditioned for cold heading and cold forming. Surface, temper and tolerances are tuned to your process — for clean heads, without cracks and without scrap.
Typical applications
For conveyor belts, filtration, anchoring and forming.
Stainless wire made for demanding bending, folding and forming — including high-temperature and food-contact environments. You get the grade you need, in the quantity you need.
Typical applications
At least 10.5 % chromium forms a dense, self-healing passive layer — the heart of corrosion resistance. We know the families in depth and draw the one that fits your part.

Final inspection
A carrier coating carries the drawing lubricant into the die, forms a separating layer between wire and tooling, and cuts friction and wear. We match the carrier to the job.

Tailored to your enquiry: exactly the grade and dimension your application needs, calibrated for your process.
We are not tied to any single steel mill. Together with our raw material partners we select the heat that suits your application and guarantee full traceability.
From 1,000 kg: order what you need without holding stock yourself. For smaller quantities we will find a solution together.
Order confirmation with delivery date and price within 48 to 72 hours. The wire rod is already in stock — all that remains is production scheduling.
Stainless steel wire is everywhere — often where you don't see it. A few concrete examples of what our customers make from it.
An application that isn't on the list?Let's talk about it— that's often where we're at our best.
Our stainless steel wire is drawn at three sites in the Hagen region, North Rhine-Westphalia — Hagen, Iserlohn and Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde — and, within the BenderWire Group, at our sister mills in Freeport (Illinois) and Danielson (Connecticut). Across Europe we look after our customers directly.
One specification, one point of contact, one responsibility.
Hagener Feinstahl was founded in 1932 in Hagen, Germany. Around 100 employees, three shifts 24/5, roughly 1,500 tonnes a month, and stainless steel wire from 0.20 to 14.00 mm in diameter.
We are part of the BenderWire Group and have been redefining wire since 1815 — five specialised wire mills in Germany and the USA. We are not tied to any single steel mill: together with our raw material partners we select the heat that suits your application, with full traceability from raw material to finished wire.
We buy wire rod in volume and keep it on the floor. That working capital is a deliberate choice: it lets us start production straight away and confirm your order with delivery date and price within 48 to 72 hours.
