About Accurate Wire
Luvata Waterbury operates from a facility on Thomaston Avenue in Waterbury, Connecticut. The business traces its roots to 1971 with the founding of Intermagnetics General Corporation (IGC). Outokumpu Copper Products Oy acquired IGC Advanced Superconductors in 2001 and rebranded the operation as Luvata in 2006. Mitsubishi Materials Corporation purchased Luvata in May 2017, making the Waterbury site a subsidiary of the Japanese materials group. The plant specializes in manufacturing copper-stabilized niobium-titanium (NbTi) and niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) conductors for low-temperature superconducting applications. Its product line covers superconducting wire and cable used in magnetic resonance imaging systems, particle accelerators, and fusion energy research. The site employs a team of over 100 professionals focused on innovation and production excellence. Customers span medical diagnostic imaging, high-energy physics, and nuclear fusion sectors. Luvata Waterbury superconductors have been specified for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the KSTAR fusion research project in Korea, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), and a $6.5 million supply contract for CEA Saclay in France. A $26 million U.S. Department of Energy fusion contract was awarded in 2009. The company positions itself as a recognized leader in superconductive wire supply where delivery and performance are critical. Its selection for flagship international science projects and long-standing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications underscore a focus on quality and environmental management.
