Nüyün_tek - Seismic Protection Devices

What Nüyün_tek - Seismic Protection Devices does

Nüyün Tek is a Chilean specialty engineering company that designs, manufactures, and supplies seismic protection devices for buildings and critical infrastructure in seismically active regions. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of ten product lines across three functional categories: seismic isolation (elastomeric bearings, friction pendulum bearings, flat surface friction sliders), energy dissipation (viscous dampers, friction dampers, viscoelastic dampers, metal dampers including UFP/ADAS/TADAS/shear panels, buckling-restrained braces, and magnetorheological dampers), and tuned mass dampers (AMS® branded). Devices are custom-engineered for each project, with capacities ranging up to 25,000kN vertical load and ±500mm displacement.

The company operates a project-based enterprise sales model targeting building owners, developers, government entities, structural engineering firms, and EPC contractors across healthcare, commercial real estate, mining, education, and industrial verticals. Projects are concentrated in Chile and Peru, with notable engagements including Hospital Félix Bulnes (501 devices), Hospital Regional de Antofagasta (419 devices), Centro de Distribución Sodimac (571 devices), and Patio Panorama towers in Lima. In-house manufacturing is complemented by a strategic representation partnership with Sumitomo Rubber Industries LTD for viscoelastic devices, broadening the product portfolio with globally-sourced technology.

Revenue is generated through custom device sales, installation supervision services, and licensing/distribution of partnered technology. The company is privately held with 6 employees, operates from Las Condes in Santiago, Chile, and has accumulated 30+ completed projects over its operating history, with devices having performed successfully during the February 27, 2010 magnitude 8.8 Chile earthquake.

Core offering

Nüyün Tek is a Chilean engineering firm that designs, manufactures, supplies, and supervises the installation of custom seismic protection devices. The portfolio spans seismic isolation systems (elastomeric bearings, friction pendulums, flat surface friction sliders), energy dissipation devices (viscous, viscoelastic, friction, metal, buckling-restrained braces, and magnetorheological dampers), and tuned mass dampers (AMS®). The company delivers complete project-based solutions for buildings, hospitals, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure.

Product overview

Nüyün Tek is a Chilean company specializing in seismic protection systems. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of seismic protection devices including three main technology categories: seismic isolation (Elastomeric Isolators, Friction Pendulum/FPS, Flat Surface Friction Sliders), energy dissipation (Viscous Dampers, Friction Dampers, Viscoelastic Dampers, Metal Dampers including UFP/ADAS/TADAS/Shear Panel, BRB, and Magnetorheological Dampers), and Tuned Mass Dampers (AMS®). The company also provides installation and supervision services, covering the complete process from design and manufacturing to supply, supervision, and/or assembly of seismic protection devices. Products are available in custom designs with various capacity ranges, displacement capabilities, and configurations to meet specific project requirements.
