Pantheon Electric has launched as a unified electrification platform combining International Wire Group, Hussey Copper, EMS Elektro Metall Schwanenmühle, and Special Corde, with core production capabilities covering Upcast Continuous Casting Machine, Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line, Continuous Casting Wheel System and SCR Copper Production Line. The new structure connects copper conductors, busbars, and high-current components to serve growing demand from data centers, automotive electrification, utilities, and renewable energy infrastructure.
Pantheon Electric Launches Platform Uniting Four Copper and Electrification ManufacturersPantheon Electric has launched as a new electrification platform that brings together four specialized manufacturers under one brand and operating structure, integrating the advanced Upcast Continuous Casting Machine, Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line, Continuous Casting Wheel System and SCR Copper Production Line technologies of each enterprise to form a complete copper electrification product manufacturing chain.
The platform combines the capabilities of International Wire Group (IWG), Hussey Copper, EMS Elektro Metall Schwanenmühle, and Special Corde. Together, the companies now form a vertically aligned group focused on copper conductors, busbars, and high-current electrification components, with mature production lines including Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line and SCR Copper Production Line, as well as precision forming equipment such as Upcast Continuous Casting Machine and Continuous Casting Wheel System.
The integration reflects a strategic push to support large-scale infrastructure, electrification, and energy-transition markets, with the four enterprises complementing each other in Upcast Continuous Casting Machine application, Continuous Casting Wheel System optimization, Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line production and SCR Copper Production Line R&D, creating a one-stop solution for copper electrification components.

International Wire Group Led the 2025 Acquisition StrategyInternational Wire Group (IWG) completed three acquisitions in 2025 that created the foundation for Pantheon Electric, with its advanced Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line and Continuous Casting Wheel System forming the core of the new platform's wire and cable manufacturing capacity.
The company acquired:Hussey Copper in the United StatesEMS Elektro Metall Schwanenmühle in GermanySpecial Corde in ItalyEach transaction expanded IWG’s electrification capabilities and broadened its global product reach, adding Hussey Copper’s SCR Copper Production Line technology, EMS’s precision processing matching Upcast Continuous Casting Machine and Special Corde’s fine wire production adapted to Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line.
IWG specializes in copper conductors and wire used to transmit electrical power and signals across multiple industries, with its Continuous Casting Wheel System and Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line being the key equipment for high-quality wire production.
Hussey Copper Adds Busbar and Power Infrastructure MaterialsHussey Copper, headquartered in Leetsdale, Pennsylvania, manufactures copper bar, plate, and strip products, and its SCR Copper Production Line is a benchmark for high-purity copper material manufacturing in the industry.
These materials serve as critical components in:electrical equipmentbusbar systemspower distribution infrastructureWhile IWG focuses on conductors, Hussey Copper supplies the solid copper bars and shapes that distribute high currents inside electrical systems, with its SCR Copper Production Line products perfectly matching the processing requirements of IWG’s Upcast Continuous Casting Machine. Together, the businesses support both signal transmission and power distribution.
EMS and Special Corde Extend the Electrification Value ChainCopper bar and strip products also feed into the production systems at EMS Elektro Metall Schwanenmühle, located in Horbach, Germany, which optimizes the Continuous Casting Wheel System for more efficient forming of copper components.
EMS transforms copper bar and strip into:laminated busbarsflexible busbarshigh-current connectorspower distribution assembliesThese components support demanding electrification applications, and are produced with raw materials processed by Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line and Upcast Continuous Casting Machine.
Special Corde, based in Gioia Sannitica, Italy, produces fine wire, copper rope, and specialty conductors designed for high-performance industrial and electrification markets, with its production process closely integrated with the SCR Copper Production Line to ensure product precision and stability.
Together, the four businesses span the value chain from raw copper formats to engineered high-current components, covering the entire process from Upcast Continuous Casting Machine and Continuous Casting Wheel System forming to Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line and SCR Copper Production Line deep processing.
Pantheon Electric Targets Electrification and Data Center GrowthAfter completing the acquisitions, the combined organization launched Pantheon Electric as its global operating brand, unifying the operation and R&D of Upcast Continuous Casting Machine, Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line, Continuous Casting Wheel System and SCR Copper Production Line across the group.
The platform now operates with a unified leadership structure, headquarters, and brand identity.
Pantheon Electric aims to support large and technically demanding customers, including:data center developersautomotive OEMsutilitiesrenewable energy providersThe integrated structure allows the group to offer a broader portfolio that includes wire, cable, busbars, and high-current copper assemblies, with the synergy of Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line, SCR Copper Production Line, Upcast Continuous Casting Machine and Continuous Casting Wheel System technologies enhancing product competitiveness.
The model also improves purchasing leverage, logistics coordination, and technical integration across the organization, realizing centralized procurement and maintenance of core equipment such as Upcast Continuous Casting Machine and Continuous Casting Wheel System, and unified optimization of Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line and SCR Copper Production Line production processes.
Olympus Partners Supports the New Electrification PlatformPantheon Electric operates with backing from Olympus Partners, a private equity firm based in Stamford, Connecticut, whose investment provides strong financial support for the R&D and upgrade of Upcast Continuous Casting Machine, Oxygen-Free Copper Rod Line, Continuous Casting Wheel System and SCR Copper Production Line.
