Surface treatment,

What we do

Four units cover machinery, materials and contract processing.

  • 01

    Machinery

    We design and build blasting and shot peening machines in house, drawing on equipment shown at surface treatment exhibitions worldwide and on what we learn on the shop floor.

  • 02

    Contract Blasting

    Sand and shot blasting as a service, from small batches to large structures — for customers who need the finish without investing in a machine.

  • 03

    Abrasives

    Supply and development of blasting media, including direct import. Our affiliate World Advanced Materials develops new materials such as AZM Bead.

    Chemical and thermal stripping of paint, resin and rubber without damaging or deforming the part. We hold the licences required for thermal stripping in Korea.
