In 1810, a new method arose: the production of zinc in metallic state. An industrial innovation of the only zinc producer in Belgium: the company Vielle-Montagne. During the 1970s, the zinc producer developed a new zinc-alloy wire which became the most efficient product on the market for fighting corrosion. The German parent company Grillo-Werke, one of the largest zinc manufacturers worldwide, then took over the activity in 1997.

At the end of the 1990s, Zinacor specialised in manufacturing and marketing zinc wire and zinc-aluminium wire used in the metallising sector. By combining quality, expertise and worldwide vision, Zinacor became the world leader par excellence of zinc wire producers.

Nowadays, all Zinacor products are designed in two production sites located in the heart of Europe, following a production method tested and approved over many years.
