Who we are. Why do we do what we do
Our brand is trusted by millions of industrial users in heavy-duty and wear-intensive industries. Over the course of more than 100 years, we have brought innovative products and solutions to our customers challenging ourselves to extend useful life, reduce maintenance costs and increase industrial productivity through welding, brazing and coating technologies.
We have transitioned from being a family-owned business into a global company while maintaining our industry expertise, people focus and our deep-rooted belief in sustainability.
Our History
His stroke of genius: to discover a way of brazing cast iron at low temperature - a revolutionary process for the protection and repair of metals that would have been impossible to join otherwise. Castolin also developed fluxes, brazing alloys, and cast-iron repair techniques.
Through his remarkable foresight and the use of "modern" sales techniques (demos and application marketing), Castolin started on its road to glory. Seeing immense possibilities in the U.S.
The know-how of Eutectic engineers together with the reliability and versatility of its products enabled Eutectic to become the predominant specialist brand in the Americas and Anglo-Saxon countries.
Recognising the importance of making technical know-how easily available to customers and the international technical community, René Wasserman created the Castolin Eutectic Institute. A visionary initiative which has since trained many thousands of technicians from all over the world.
