The quality of IAM Drijfhout products

The precious metal sheets and foils both have excellent properties, making it a perfect base material for further processing into high-quality end products.

Thanks to modern rolling equipment, an expert process and consistent control of purity and hardness characteristics, the quality of our sheet and foil is very high.

The production process uses vacuum cast steel rollers that are regularly polished to ensure flatness and consistent surface finish. The required hardness and dimensional tolerances are checked by laboratories for all sheets, foils or strips. This forms the basis for an accurate end result. Only the best quality guarantees efficient processing further down the production line.
