When it comes to producing state of the art wire we at Johnson Matthey NY believe we have an edge to provide our jewelry customers something special.

A little known fact about Johnson Matthey is that the production facility in Pennsylvania that produces platinum bio-implants is the same one we use to make the jewelry materials Johnson Matthey NY supplies to you. Platinum wire is used extensively in keyhole heart surgery products and the processes used to meet rigid medical industry standards are identical to those used in the production of our jewelry wire. So when we say we have your wire interests at heart – we truly mean it!

For many years now our technical team in PA has been striving to produce burr and tear free wire on a microscopic scale to meet the exacting requirements of our medical customers. We have developed excellent production techniques that encompass die materials, die reduction ratios, lubrication and annealing procedures. Through many trials and of course failures, we have learnt how to gain first-rate strength and the highest quality finish and luster on our platinum wires – key parameters for the rigors of day to day jewelry use.

Johnson Matthey NY stocks a range of popular sizes and alloys on 1oz coils in platinum AND PALLADIUM for pick up at our trade counter or delivery same day or overnight.
