Objectives, activities and expected results:

The main aim of the ‘NEW COATINGS INSIDE VALVES’ project is to strengthen the company's production capacity and to intervene in the new generation of highly functional equipment in the petrochemical and energy production sectors, while also aiming to make processes more agile and efficient.

In particular, this project aims to support and offset the impact felt in one of the company's main markets - the aeronautics sector.

The project aims to promote productivity improvements through the acquisition of equipment and services that help improve the efficiency of the company's production processes, helping to stimulate national production.

The new equipment and technologies to be installed will enable the development of new coating materials with substantially improved properties and their application to industrial components and equipment that have hitherto been closed to the available technological means. Coating technologies and laser heat treatments will be improved, enabling the launch of new services, products and brands, complementing

the current offer in the area of surface treatments and translating into gains in productivity and competitiveness.
