History

The Cladtek story is one that has been engineered out of innovation and ingenuity. Since inception in 2005 the focus has always been on developing process and technology to provide outstanding solutions that are scalable and cost-effective.

Today Cladtek is the largest supplier of weld overlay Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) globally and a leading supplier of CRA mechanically lined pipe (MLP).

From humble beginnings the business has expanded globally and now operates three purpose-built manufacturing facilities in Indonesia, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.

We offer a range of standalone related services such as induction bending, pipe spool fabrication, thermally sprayed aluminium coating, design and manufacture of clad valves, and design and manufacture of clad pressure vessels including pig launchers and receivers. We also offer complete,

integrated clad product solutions that allow our customers to combine our various products and services into a single, seamless package that extends all the way to fabrication of skids and modules.
