Argos Surface Technologies: surface treatments and industrial coatings

Surface treatments and coatings for metals and aluminium, plastics and carbon fibre

Argos Surface Technologies Group was set up from the merge of eight Italian companies among the most well-established firms in the field of surface treatments and coatings: Argos S.p.A., Aalberts Surface Treatment S.r.l., TEC.RI.MET S.r.l., Impreglon Italia S.r.l. (all joint into Argos S.r.l.), TSM S.r.l. (now Argos TSM S.r.l.) and Lualma Anodica S.r.l. (now Argos Lualma S.r.l.), Foresi S.p.A and Rotostatic S.r.l. Strengthened by an extensive presence in the market lasting more than 50 years, the group can rely on quick service, high competence and technological know-how, guaranteeing to different industries customers a concrete response to their needs.

Only the best surface treatments and coatings, based on continuous research and development

Industrial coatings and surface treatments offered by Argos Surface Technologies Group arise from decades of know-how and experience, and aim to improve as much as possible the functioning of production plants in several industries. Each coating developed by the Group – most of cases in partnership with the customer- stands out for specific purposes. The surface treatments and coatings made by Argos Surface Technologies are used in many fields of application, first of all industrial and mechanical.

A constant search for the best solutions for surface treatments and coatings

The development of innovative processes, such as electroless nickel plating (known as Niploy, Chenisil, Cheniflon and ENP SH), polymer-based coatings, thermal spray, anodizing and hard anodizing, and industrial painting (cataphoresis, powder painting and liquid painting), allow the Argos ST Group to continuously offer state-of-the-art solutions in coatings and surface treatments, positioning itself as a leader in the market. Surface coatings and treatments by Argos Surface Technologies are used in the widest variety of industries, including:

• Automotive
• Aerospace and military
• Petroleum or oil & gas
• Rubber and plastic
• Food
• Chemical and pharma
• Textile and printing
• Packaging
• Nonwoven fabric
• Furniture and lighting
• Construction industry and earth-moving machinery
• Mechanical industry

Each surface treatment or industrial surface coating supplied by Argos Surface Technologies meets specific needs and has certain characteristics such as non-stick, anti-friction and dry lubrication properties, wear resistance, excellent properties such as sliding, detachment, perfect washability, hardness, corrosion protection, thermal or electrical insulation, electrical conductivity or even abrasion resistance, weldability and uniform thickness, depending on the required application. Surface coatings by Argos Group are a more technologically advanced alternative to classic electroplating.

The certifications held by Argos ST Group guarantee an optimal reproducible quality both for single components and for mass-produced products. Our commitment to research and punctuality in the service, combined with compliance with current regulations and continuous improvement of our standards for sustainability and environmental protection have allowed Argos ST Group to obtain ISO 9001:2015, NSF/ANSI 51, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and IATF 16949:2016 certifications.
