Metval, established in the 1960s, is a pioneering Italian company specializing in thermal spraying technology. Initially known for manufacturing automatic metallizing plants, the company transitioned in the mid-1990s to become a specialized coating service provider. Their headquarters is located in Talamona, 100 kilometers north of Milan.
The company offers comprehensive thermal spraying solutions through various processes including flame spraying (wire metallization), plasma spraying, HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel), and electric arc spraying. They work with a diverse range of materials including metals, ceramics, and carbides to create high-performance coatings.
Metval's services extend beyond thermal spraying to include pre-spraying mechanical processes and surface finishing operations such as grinding, polishing, and lapping. Their in-house laboratory conducts micrographic examinations, roughness checks, hardness tests, and bend tests to ensure quality standards.
The company primarily serves several key industries: automotive component manufacturing (spare parts and OEM), ball valve production, mechanical textiles, pumps, wire processing, and welding components. Their specific applications include molybdenum coating for automotive parts, metal-to-metal seals with tungsten and chromium carbides for valves, and ceramic coatings for pump components.
ISO 9001 certified since 2010, Metval maintains high standards of quality and operational excellence. Their automated production processes, complete traceability system, and comprehensive quality control measures have established them as a reliable partner for both domestic and international mechanical companies.
