PERMATECH Inc. began as an Alcoa research project in 1972 to develop precast ceramic substitutes for asbestos containing shapes in aluminum casting applications.
In 1986, the facility was relocated to its current location in North Carolina, and was formally established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa. In December of 2003, Permatech Inc. was acquired by two of the former company managers.
February 16, 2009 - ASCON's KOMPAS-3D is being used at PERMATECH Inc., a manufacturer of precast refractory components and molten aluminium handling systems for aluminium casthouse applications.
In this contribution to Aluminium Times from IMS and Permatech, Inc, it is suggested that the use of the company’s BIG-BLOCK™ refractory manufacturing and installation expertise brings the possibility of relining a furnace, from metal to metal, in seven days, ever closer.
Permatech is pleased to introduce Tough Tap™, a revolutionary new patent-pending custom-engineered Tap Block flow control system. Tough Tap™ utilizes a composite steel and reinforced refractory system that rivals the performance of existing steel components.
Permatech Inc. of 911 East Elm Street in Graham is pleased to announce the acquisition of Tri-Weld Inc. of 2801 Troxler Road in Burlington.
Permatech designs, engineers, and manufactures precision precast refractory components and equipment for the global Aluminum Casting Industry. In order to meet customer requirements, Permatech has deemed it necessary to expand its capabilities in the areas of mold and equipment fabrication. Tri-Weld’s assets and its expertise in steel fabrication will provide the necessary welders, machinists, space and equipment to meet these demands.
