Trimay Wear Plate

What Trimay Wear Plate does

Trimay Wear Plate Ltd. is a Canadian specialty industrial manufacturer, founded in 1958 in the UK and operational in Edmonton, Alberta since 1993, that produces wear-resistant metallic cladding applied to steel plate and pipe using proprietary Submerged Arc Bulk Weld Overlay (SAW) technology. The company engineers near-nanoscale (submicron) microstructures in its overlay alloys — including patented T171 and T172 nanoscale weld overlays and complex carbide, borocarbide, and nickel-based tungsten carbide variants — to extend equipment service life under severe abrasion, impact, erosion, corrosion, and elevated-temperature conditions. Its product portfolio spans chromium carbide and advanced alloy wear plates (TPlate, T156, T157, T161, T168i, T170, T171, T172), FCAW-clad wear pipe (TWP57p, TWP68Ip, TWP70p, TWP71p), a consumables line (TWP-series hardfacing wire and electrodes), and exclusive Canadian distribution rights for Oil States' patented VR Connector and Lynx Connector products.

Trimay sells exclusively B2B under a quote-based, multi-year contract pricing model, supported by technical services (wear audits, life-cycle comparison analysis, custom alloy development, applications engineering) differentiated by in-house PhD-level metallurgy expertise and APEGA Permit Holder status. The customer base spans 12+ industrial verticals, with primary concentration in mining, oil sands, cement/concrete, and power generation, alongside forestry, earthworks, dredging, infrastructure, asphalt and road milling, agriculture/grain, OEM integration, and oil and gas. Following its November 2025 acquisition by UCC Environmental, Trimay operates as a subsidiary with access to the parent's global distribution footprint, while continuing to manufacture from its Edmonton facility.
