Technology & Products
Key Products
NonMag steel grades (P530, P540, P550, P650, P690, P750, N850 — proprietary non-magnetic high-strength stainless steels for oilfield); CNC turning/milling (up to 11m workpiece, 5-axis Millturn); BTA deep hole drilling (up to 300mm dia, 11m depth); Single-lip drilling (2–25mm dia); Laser cladding and repair welding; Shot peening / surface treatment; Goose Neck Drilling (patented EDM curved bore technology); Additive manufacturing / 3D metal printing (Velo3D Sapphire XC, 600mm dia × 550mm height, Inconel 718); Rapid prototyping (8–10 week turnaround)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary NonMag steel metallurgy (P/N grade family) developed for 30+ years — high strength, non-magnetic, corrosion resistant, good machinability; Velo3D Sapphire XC large-format AM capability (unique in Europe); integrated end-to-end production eliminates external post-processing dependencies; patented Goose Neck Drilling EDM technology for curved bores; ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EN/AS 9100, API Spec Q1 certifications; in-house materials testing lab (mechanical-technological analysis, UT, PT, X-ray).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
World market leader in non-magnetic high-strength steels for the oilfield industry, now combining 100+ years of precision metal manufacturing heritage with Europe's most capable large-format metal AM (Velo3D Sapphire XC, 600mm diameter) for oil & gas MWD/LWD, aerospace, and defense applications.
How They Differentiate
Uniquely combines deep oilfield metallurgy expertise (proprietary NonMag steels) with Europe's largest metal AM build volume (600mm dia). Competitors are either oilfield steel specialists without AM or AM service bureaus without oilfield materials knowledge. Single-source responsibility from design feasibility through AM production, CNC finishing, NDT, and final inspection.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Oil & gas operators and MWD/LWD equipment OEMs; aerospace and defense prime contractors; precision engineering companies requiring large-format complex metal components
