Boliden and Tretau combine low-carbon copper and solvent-free magnet wire to support sustainable electrification. Boliden’s Low-Carbon Copper reduces CO₂ emissions compared with the global industry average. Tretau’s DryCycle® technology cuts coating-process emissions by an average of 65% versus conventional technologies. Pianezza (Turin) – 20 May 2026 – Boliden and Tretau are strengthening the electrification value chain by combining responsibly produced Low‑Carbon Copper with high-performance magnet wire solutions. By aligning upstream responsible metal production with technological innovation, Boliden and Tretau enable more efficient and low-carbon electric machines and systems. “Electrification requires not only more metals, but metals produced responsibly and used efficiently. By combining our Low‑Carbon Copper with advanced magnet wire technology, we create value for customers and customer’s customers who wants to reduce their carbon footprint. Without compromising on performance”, Daniel Asplund, Manager Sales Copper, Boliden, says. Copper Cathode - Photo courtesy of Johanna Sjövall / Boliden Boliden’s Low‑Carbon Copper, part of the company’s Green Transition Metals portfolio, has a carbon footprint of 1.5 kg CO₂e per kilogram of copper, compared with a global average of approximately 4.0 kg CO₂e per kilogram. Produced using copper from Boliden’s own mines, the product supports customers in reducing emissions across the value chain, including Scope 3. Tretau complements this with solvent‑free, high‑performance magnet wire, engineered to meet the growing demands of electrification. Its DryCycle® technology eliminates solvents from the insulation process, enabling resource-efficient manufacturing while maintaining thermal, electrical, and mechanical performance in electric machines. DryCycle® technology reduces the environmental impact of the coating process. The approach is based on a shorter, more energy-efficient coating process, resulting in a structurally lower carbon footprint per kilogram of magnet wire. The impact is most significant at the insulation and transformation stage, where emissions are, on average, 65% lower than those associated with legacy coating technologies, with variations primarily driven by technical specifications. “Our mission is to revolutionize the wire industry through sustainable high‑performance solutions. When upstream responsible metal production meets downstream innovation, it accelerates electrification and delivers real climate benefits.”, says Francesco Taiariol, Co‑founder and CEO of Tretau.

EIB financing will enable Tau Group to increase production of high-performance and environmentally friendly magnet wire from 2000 to 12000 tonnes per year for use in vehicles and machine parts. Investments will be made at their facility in Turin (Italy) between 2024 and 2027. The project is backed by InvestEU, the European Commission’s investment programme. Luxembourg, December 12, 2024 . The European Investment Bank (EIB) has announced a €20 million venture debt loan for Tau Group, an Italian technology startup at the heart of efforts to electrify transport solutions. The EIB’s investment will enable Tau Group to increase its production capacity for high-performance magnet wire for use in vehicles and machine parts that also contribute to the energy transition. The current capacity of around 2000 tonnes is set to increase to 12000 per year by 2027. The agreement, backed by InvestEU, was announced at the EIB Headquarter in Luxembourg. The EIB-funded investments will be made at the plant in Turin by 2027. Tau Group’s objective is to replace current wire enamelling techniques – which involve using hazardous and polluting solvents – with a new technology making it possible to coat wire with advanced engineering polymers. The use of wire in electric motors has been a complex process until now, requiring several evaporation stages as well as solvents that are harmful to the environment. The DryCycle process, patented by Tau Group, has just one step and yields the same or better results than the traditional process. It does not require the use of solvents, reduces energy consumption, and minimises waste during production. In this way, Tau Group produces high-performance, environmentally-friendly and low-cost magnet wire for electric vehicles and other electrical machinery, helping to speed up developments in the sustainable transport sector. With venture debt, the EIB offers a type of quasi-equity financing designed to meet the specific needs of innovative businesses that are growing rapidly. The EIB's venture debt portfolio is the largest in Europe, with over €6 billion invested in 200 operations and 50 exit deals since 2015. “Electrifying the car manufacturing industry and ensuring its production efficiency is fundamental, not only to step up the fight against climate change, but also to reinforce Europe’s competitiveness,” said Alessandro Izzo, EIB Director Equity, Growth and Project Finance . “EIB financing aims to create a more efficient and sustainable manufacturing industry that is ready to face the challenges of the future.” Tau Group at the EIB Headquarters "EIB support represents a key contribution to accelerating the growth of European industry and advancing the electrification of production processes and consumption," said Tau Group CEO, Francesco Taiariol . “This support will enable us to continue scaling up production capacity and make full use of the DryCycle process to manufacture magnet wire, an essential component of electric motors. Tau Group is committed to becoming an industry leader, promoting sustainability and efficiency in its sector, and consolidating Europe’s role at the forefront of the global energy transition.” About Tau Group Tau Group is a technology company working at the heart of the energy transition, committed to decarbonising energy and electrifying transport options.
