WAAREE Group acquires CESARE BONETTI s.p.a., Italy's leading valve manufacturer.

We are pleased to announce that WAAREE Group, based in Mumbai, India has acquired 100% of the shares in CESARE BONETTI, etching a new chapter in BONETTI's 108 years of illustrious history. The acquisition brings with it a new wave of transformation and global synergies, combining the manufacture and innovation excellence by CESARE BONETTI with customer reach, diversity and global reach WAAREE group.

This development is significant and in line with the Group's constant WAAREE strive to tie in with the best in the world in terms of design and manufacturing excellence and channelize technical edge thus available to make it more accessible and affordable to the customer. The Union also marks a paradigm shift in manufacturing, purchasing and servicing of the group, with its newly acquired global reach, will be closer and more accessible to the customer.

WAAREE group, with its clairvoyance on the global market, its strong financial, infrastructure and logistical support along with the BONETTI strong innovation, design and manufacturing excellence and a century learning curve benefit, this development is very important for both groups in the establishment of their footprints in emerging markets and achieve high levels of growth and prosperity in a very short, of course keep the customer, its interests and its service on the highest pedestal.

ABOUT CESARE BONETTI

Established in 1905, the Cesare Bonetti has evolved over the last century, as a world class manufacturer of critical valves and level meters. In the last 100 years grown BONETTI strength to strength, slowly spreading its manufacturing presence worldwide, expand its capabilities as it did. With the newly-established State-of-the-art facility in Karambele, India, doubled BONETTI manufacturability, compliments the traditional world famous site in Garbagnate and strategic manufacturing unit in Suzhou China. The strategic joint ventures in Germany and Turkey further increase BONETTIS manufacturing is spread all over the world. http://www.Cesare-Bonetti.it/

Wallwork Group: Surface Engineering to Improve Metal Hardness at Offshore Europe Std 4D83

Offshore Europe is the showcase for heat treatment and surface engineering specialist, the  Wallwork Group, offering metal treatments that improve wear resistance, fatigue strength and corrosion resistance of systems and components in offshore plant.  Based on thermal processing or the application of advanced micro-thin coatings, the processes can be customised to the needs of the offshore application and the harsh working environment.

For the treatment of wear components, there is a complete family of nitriding processes.  These include salt based nitro-carburising processing, which diffuses nitrogen and carbon into the metal surface, to impart wear resistance and fatigue strength. Subsequently, components may be quench-polish-quenched (QPQ) processed to improve surface finish and add an additional oxidised layer for enhanced corrosion resistance.  Steel, iron and ferritic alloys can all be treated in this way.

This nitriding process is also available under several trade names including Tufftride, Tenifer, Kolene, Nu-Tride and Melonite.  Unlike gas nitriding there is no need for chromium or aluminium to be present in the steel, however, where alloy steels are used high surface hardness can be achieved and increased case depths.

Alloy steel components can also be surface hardened by gas nitriding to case harden to various depths depending on the needs of the application.  This is commonly applied to steel alloys whose chemical composition contains nitride forming elements such as chromium.  Gas nitriding is especially suited to the treatment of wear components in plant and machinery such as motors, pumps and compressors.

The treatment of down bore pipes and similar hollow vessels poses particular problems for offshore operators and petrochemical companies.  To solve these problems Wallwork offers InnerArmor from Sub-One of California.  By using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) to deposit a protective coating by gas ionisation, InnerArmor gives an even thin film of highly resistive titanium carbide or diamond like carbon (DLC) that is totally pin-hole free.  Highly resistant to abrasive wear, erosion and corrosion these coatings extend plant life and provide better material flow through smoother bores and improve uptime to enhance productivity.

The company is also a specialist in high vacuum heat treatment of metal components for which they have a substantial investment in computer controlled Seco Warwick furnaces.  These ensure precise time/temperature exposure to produce metal parts with a bright finish from a clean salt-free and non-oxidising atmosphere.  Adaptable for use with a range of alloy steels from plastic mould steels to high speed and powder metallurgy manufactured steels, the treatment is precisely controlled to achieve customer specified hardness in very small or very large components with great consistency.

Wallwork provides a nation-wide service with 24 hour turnaround from bases in Manchester, Birmingham, and Cambridge.  All locations are accredited to aerospace standards.  All have fully equipped and staffed laboratories for quality assurance to validate treatments and provide documentation to certify processing to the specified standards.   Accreditations include AS9100, NADCAP and ISO1400; a full list of be viewed on the web at www.wallworkht.com.
