ACE & Heavy Equipment

Proven Solutions for Agriculture, Construction, and Earthmoving Equipment Manufacturing

Heavy equipment requires machining, cleaning, and corrosion protection to withstand continuous, demanding work. You can expect more from us, as our solutions have been engineered to meet the highest level of performance, robust corrosion protection, and superior paint adhesion.

Off-road vehicles, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery face extreme conditions and need long-term functionality. Quality and durability are key drivers in selecting the correct chemical treatments. Our efficient solutions deliver exceptional, lasting surface quality across a range of substrates and coatings–– whether thin or thick sheets, hot-rolled, cold-rolled, or scaled steel. Chemetall meets these demands with innovative technologies, onsite support, and leading expertise.

The strength of our global reach, innovation and intensive process knowledge enables us to deliver customer-centric solutions. Chemetall supports each step of manufacturing, from metal cutting and forming, to in-process cleaning and corrosion protection. In finishing, we offer expertise in metal and plastic pretreatment before painting or powder coating. We also provide more sustainable solutions for electroplating, anodizing, facility maintenance, and wastewater treatment—offering safe, economical options throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.
