EPC has a close relationship with SEI (Surface Engineering & Innovation Ltd.), a specialized company that provides customers with valuable advice and support services related to surface engineering. SEI has years of experience in the field of surface solutions and uses this expertise to help us develop complete coating solutions for our customers.
Finding a clever, sustainable solution to a surface engineering application or problem involves taking a step back to see the bigger picture. You have to take everything into account, such as application development, economics, manufacturing systems, quality control, supply chain management, and thermal spray coating processes and equipment. SEI helps you do this. They offer:
- Business case preparation to evaluate the merits of insourcing vs outsourcing
- Developing new surface solutions for specific applications (starting from material selection to parameter optimization and eventual finishing techniques)
- Equipment and material selection, engineering, supply, and techno-commercial evaluation
- Equipment, material, and spare parts sourcing for thermal spray, cold spray, and laser cladding equipment
- Project management services (to implement Capex projects)
- Technical sales support
- Thermal spray industry best practices and operational audits (shop floor, quotations, laboratory, management, sales, etc.)
- Thermal spray training (teaching basic and advanced applications, critical maintenance etc.)
A wide range of businesses have benefitted from working with us and SEI, such as OEM’s, research and development houses, colleges, and even start-ups just venturing into the world of surface solutions. No matter what stage your business is at, contact us or visit the SEI website to find out more.
