La Farga

La Farga, an industrial holding with over 200 years of experience and with a constant innovation, is positioned as a leader in the sector of copper cables for catenary.

La Farga offers comprehensive solutions for semifinish products and bare conductors made from copper and its alloys (CuMg, CuSn or CuAg), integrating the entire production process, from the purchase of the cathode to the manufacture of the final product. In this way we ensure the maximum technical performance and certification of each of our products around the world; products that are used for all kinds of railway lines: metros, trams, light railways, conventional lines, and high and very high speed lines.

The strong presence on an international level and the constant innovation in the search for new alloys has enabled us to bring high performance materials to the market.

Our production process is backed up by an exhaustive and thorough quality control, following ISO standards, from the moment the cathode arrives at our facilities until the end product leaves. To do so, we adapt to the specific requirements of each client and their national and international casuistries by means of our entrepreneurial policy of flexibility, development of new markets and, above all, by our attention to detail.

We concentrate the whole production process on the same installations, from the melting of the cathode to the manufacture of the end product. This fact allows us to ensure maximum reliability, control and optimisation of the production process, as well as offering our clients a comprehensive service.

Since 2006 La Farga has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact, adapting its principles of conduct and action in matter of human rights, work, the environment and the fight against the corruption and bribery. Thus sustainability is fully integrated into the company’s management strategy, in order to achieve the social, environmental and economic balance of our activities and, ultimately, creating value for our whole environment.

All the people that contribute to our project are vital to the continuous improvement of the company. By means of a pleasant environment and healthy and honest interpersonal relationships we build new projects every day that help us grow together with our partners; and our patented technological revolution, a reality around the world, already forms part of our work culture. Thanks to our extensive knowledge of metals, we are excellent combination for our clients: experience, service and quality.

Within the framework of our Quality System, certified by AENOR, the entire organisation is oriented towards quality, which we guarantee by ensuring compliance with customer’s requirements and by controlling processes, in order to attain the ultimate goal: the total customer’s satisfaction, both with regard to the product and to the service that is offered.

All our products are subject to compliance with technical specifications in which their characteristics and performance are defined, and at the same time, we have the relevant authorisations in accordance with the standards of the countries that require them. To do so we overcome a stringent product and process auditing that guarantees the highest quality and a thorough control of the processes.

The tests are performed in La Farga’s laboratory in accordance with international regulations and existing control plans. The laboratory is integrated in La Farga’s Quality Management system, which is certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 standard.

La Farga has always positioned itself as pioneering company as a result of its considerable investment in innovation in machinery and development of high performance copper products for railway applications.

To this end, we have a research, development and innovation team which, together with our clients, allows us to develop products that respond to specific needs.

With the support of universities and technological centres, La Farga carries out research with the goal of designing new high performance materials for the electrification of railway lines.

Alloys

In recent years, La Farga has developed cutting-edge technology in copper alloys that has allowed us to supply projects of different magnitudes worldwide.

Silver is used as an alloying element to increase the base material’s resistance to annealing, which makes to achieve better thermal stability of products that make up the catenary without sacrificing mechanical or electrical properties, and thus improve their durability.

When mechanical resistance is a key factor in the design of the railway catenary, whereas electrical conductivity is not a determining factor, alloys are chosen with elements that make it possible to improve the mechanical strength of conventional materials.

Materials made with alloys of Copper and Tin, and Copper and Magnesium present a very high resistance which makes it possible to apply hanging tensions that are sufficient for providing higher wave propagation speeds in the catenary. These alloys are necessary in high-performance railway lines, especially high speed ones.

Copper based on micro-alloys, which improves the wear resistance by between 30 and 50% compared to the products commonly used in conventional lines.
