Tenova Pyromet Has Expanded Its Focus And More Growth Is Forecast

July 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Since becoming part of the Tenova Group, Tenova Pyromet (link) has expanded its focus. The furnace design and supply company has been in business for 25 years (but the inherited Tagliaferri experience dates back to 1953) and famously supplies the mining industry with furnaces for ferroalloy smelting, base-metals refining, slag cleaning and waste product treatment.

“I became CEO here when Tenova bought a 51 percent stake in Pyromet. At the time Tenova had some operations in this field in Italy through Tagliaferri and today Tenova Pyromet embraces the joint technology of Tagliaferri and Pyromet,” Paolo Argenta, CEO, told Energy Digital (link).

The global presence provided by the network of Tenova Group offices, located across five continents, provides Tenova Pyromet with a worldwide procurement network, knowledge of local business practices and world class fabrication workshops in low-cost markets like China and India.

“We’ve got a strong proposition, supported by a lot of project management experience,” Argenta said. “A key strength is that we are able to supply, supervise and commission anywhere in the world; for example, current and previous projects in Russia, China, India, U.S., Europe, Australia and Africa.”

The shift in focus has helped Tenova Pyromet maintain a healthy order book during the global financial downturn.

“We believe that Pyromet will grow,” Argenta added. “And we’ll grow, especially outside South Africa, because when we bought Pyromet, Pyromet was already established inside South Africa. The work we have done in the past four years now was to make Pyromet a little bit more international and reach out to new markets.”
