Mechanics and Metallurgy

ATTAINING EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCES

We develop multifunctional and durable surface coatings for metallic materials. As experts in formulating and optimizing coating processes (chemical, mineral, and organic coatings on even the most complex shapes), applied through dry or wet processes, we create coatings that enhance properties and provide long-term protection against environmental damage such as corrosion, friction, and wear, even under extreme conditions. This allows for significant reductions in maintenance and repair costs. Provide us with your specifications, and we will deliver the right treatment!

We systematically integrate an eco-friendly and sustainable approach into all our developments. Our goal is to offer environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional treatments, prioritize eco-design, and develop recycling solutions for materials and coatings to minimize environmental impact and promote a circular economy. Provide us with your specifications, and we will deliver the optimal treatment!
