Deloro Stellite to Establish a Plant in Montreal to Serve the Aircraft Landing Gear Industry

摘要

The Deloro Stellite Group announces a multimillion dollar investment in Montreal, Canada, where the Company plans to open a new high technology HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) coating facility. The new facility will be focused on serving the aircraft landing gear industry. Deloro Stellite has also entered into a strategic alliance with Placage Tecnickrome Inc, a Montreal-based Company who already provides advanced metallic surface treatments to the aerospace industry. This alliance will create the only integrated coating/surface processing facility located in close proximity to landing gear part manufacturers in Canada. The majority of the world's aircraft landing gear is produced in Canada and Northern USA. However, the absence of a HVOF facility in this region capable of producing qualified coatings has resulted in landing gear manufacturers using geographically distant coatings shops based in the USA.
