The Grupo Dominguis and Metallisation Inc, a British company specialising in metallisation equipment, have reached an agreement with the aim of joining synergies in the distribution of equipment and services. For the Spanish company this collaboration means greater sales possibilities for the Tirant 3 robot and also the opening up to other sectors and countries.

The Grupo Dominguis and the British company Metallisation Inc have reached an agreement by means of which the latter, which already was a supplier of metallisation material for the Valencia holding, becomes a business associate and client for the distribution and sale of the Tirant 3 robot.

This agreement is generating interesting contacts and potential clients for the Spanish business group, which means greater sale possibilities for the robot and the opening up to other industrial sectors apart from nuclear power, in which metallisation projects with the Tirant have already been carried out.

Success of the Tirant 3

The mobile robot developed by Titania (an entity belonging to the Grupo Dominguis) in collaboration with Robotnik (a Valencia company specialising in industrial robotics) is used to metallise pipes with corrosion-rosion problems in both nuclear power stations and other installations needing this treatment, such as shipping or petrochemical facilities. Metallisation is a metal coating that is used as an anti-corrosive treatment in aggressive environments. It is used in many sectors, including that of nuclear power, but is most frequently found in the petrochemical sector.

The importance of the equipment lies in the automation of the service so as to reduce occupational hazards and increase the quality of the coating. Up until now the work of projecting molten metal was done manually, sometimes under very adverse conditions that obliged the worker to use protective clothing, gloves, special goggles, and even independent breathing mapparatus, but with the Tirant 3 risks are avoided and an excellent result is obtained.

Business strategy

The Grupo Dominguis has provided metallisation services by means of this robot in the nuclear industry, with an outstanding result.

Metallisation Inc, which has been able to appreciate at first hand that the metallisation carried out by this equipment represents a successful solution, has therefore not hesitated to offer its business network to promote and distribute the Tirant 3 among its clients.
With this new operation, the Grupo Dominguis has expanded its business horizons and boosted its internationalisation strategy, based on the quality and innovation of its products and the providing of smart solutions to the industrial sector.
