ASTA, a Montana Aerospace company headquartered in Austria, produces copper components for high-voltage industries and stands in the middle of the energy transition. For over 200 years, ASTA has played an active role in shaping technology. We are known for our premium quality in producing insulated winding material and system-critical copper components for power generators, electricity transformers and (e-)mobility solutions. As we move towards a more digital and sustainable world, we understand that, without electricity, technological advancements are not possible. Hence, the energy required to power our daily lives increases. ASTA has worked on numerous projects that play a critical role in transforming the energy landscape. Their projects such as the Glen Canyon Dam in the US, the Three Gorges Dam in China, as well as current projects such as the Dogger Bank wind farm on the English coast and components for revolutionary Siemens locomotives demonstrate ASTA’s expertise in copper refinement and insulation systems. By prioritizing sustainability and innovation, ASTA is committed to making a positive impact and creating a better world now and for future generations. Therefore, ASTA is currently working on a circular economy concept, which will focus on copper recycling and will be ramped-up over the next years. Thus, by reducing the demand for primary materials, ASTA is able to create sophisticated products with a reduced environmental impact. With over 1,300 employees and six production locations in Austria, Bosnia, India, China, and Brazil, we are a global leader in producing system-critical copper components for rapidly growing markets. ASTA's know-how and expertise have led to the development of numerous patented solutions that enable us to create significantly more powerful and efficient products with our components. At ASTA, quality and precision are guaranteed in every component produced, making us the ideal partner for the energy transition.
