Industrial wear protection alloys provider
Castolin Eutectic focuses on extending the life of industrial equipment by providing repair, protection, and wear-management solutions.

The business differentiates itself through a long history of wear- and fusion-technology know-how, a global service network, and an emphasis on lifecycle solutions for machines and components, rather than just selling materials.
