Primetals Technologies acquired the torch-cutting technology assets from Spanish company TCT Torch-Cutting Technologies. They signed vital personnel to a long-term service contract to expand its competencies with in-house torch-cutting expertise. TCT was founded in 2009 and offers a broad spectrum of innovative solutions for cutting applications in steel plants, rolling mills, forging shops, foundries, and scrap yards. The move was preceded by the steady relationship between Primetals Technologies and TCT for leading torch-cutting technology solutions.
Integration of Torch-Cutting Technologies
The integration of TCT’s assets into Primetals Technologies results in the full integration of torch-cutting technologies into the continuous casting segment, the broader range of automation solutions for casting, and the scope of metallurgical services. Steel producers needing spare parts and maintenance-related expertise will benefit from the worldwide network of service centers from Primetals Technologies.
Scrap Cutting Technologies
This integration is an additional means of boosting the development of new solutions while maintaining our high-quality standards.”
Harald Trost
General Sales Manager of TCT
Resources for the further development of scrap-cutting technologies can increase as the project execution of TCT is integrated into Primetals Technologies. The transition to green steel production will increase the use of electric arc furnaces and scrap-based production. Therefore, the need for effective and innovative systems for scrap management includes new solutions for scrap-cutting plants.
With the acquisition of TCT’s cutting technologies and the support from key TCT personnel through a long-term service contract, we have established a solid basis for mutually maintaining and developing Primetals Technologies’ reliable and high-performing cutting technologies within various fields. Furthermore, TCT and Primetals Technologies are the perfect partners as we share the same purpose and love what we do—it is our passion.”
