About Deloro Wear Solutions
Deloro Wear Solutions GmbH, headquartered in Koblenz, is a manufacturer specialized in industrial wear protection. The company produces ready-to-install components made of high-performance cobalt, nickel and iron-based alloys (including Stellite, Tribaloy, Delcrome, Nistelle) for industries such as power generation, oil and gas, aerospace, pump and valve manufacturing, medical technology and metal processing. The value chain includes investment casting, sand casting, centrifugal casting, forging, PTA and laser cladding, HVOF coating, hot isostatic pressing, additive manufacturing as well as powder production by gas atomization with around 250,000 kg of filler materials and 450,000 components per year. Component sizes range from 0.1 grams to 10 tons with tolerances in the micrometer range. Deloro delivers worldwide to over 50 countries and develops its own PTA welding systems including remote maintenance.
