Tecpro Corporation is owned by
SÜD-CHEMIE AG
and is the marketing and service organization for special technologies, processes and
products developed and produced by the SKW Group of companies for the foundry
industry in North America, Mexico and the Pacific Rim Countries.
Tecpro is the only company to produce technologically
advanced cored wires, inoculants and refractory coatings, which allows the company to
serve the foundry industry in both the metallurgical and sand areas. In addition to
the
development and production of cored wire, inoculants and
refractory coatings, the Foundry Group has introduced commercially:
A. Mold Inoculation with solid cast inserts: Germalloy and
Optigran in the 1960's.
B. Mg-treatment and inoculation with cored wire in 1980.
Because of the integrated companies (ESM Group is the largest
Mg-grinder in the world, SKW is a leading alloy
producer worldwide, and Affival is the largest cored wire producer in the world), the
Group offers a unique "single production responsibility", which includes the
filler materials, the production of the wire, and the metallurgical know-how.
C. Flow-Coating Application technology together with
Tecpro's specially designed mini-tank/mixer combination for refractory
coatings in the 1970's in Europe and
in 1988 in North America. This environmentally friendly system (foundries have no
drum disposal problem) is much more than just a "packaging" method.
The excellent worldwide reputation of its products, the
ongoing research and development efforts, and the
technological backup provided by the combined international group make Tecpro Corporation
a highly qualified partner for the North American foundry industry.
