Primetals Technologies recently inaugurated a service workshop in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The facility is strategically located near key transportation routes, as well as several major steel producers, which offer a full range of advanced maintenance and refurbishment services.
The facility includes caster roll maintenance, nickel plating, coating technologies for flat rolling mills, galvanizing lines, advanced technologies such as laser cladding and high-velocity coating systems (HVOF and HVAF), and a mechatronics and hydraulics test center.
These capabilities are designed to meet growing demands of Brazil’s steel and industrial sectors. Additionally, they support the repair of critical components for industries beyond steel, including mining, oil and gas, wind energy, and paper production.
The service workshop uses advanced digital tools—such as the Maintenance and Asset Technology (MAT) system—to automate workflows, enhance traceability, and ensure rigorous quality control. Operational activities are fully tracked and documented, providing customers with reliable, real-time data and complete transparency throughout every step of the repair process.
