Products and services

• Hot-Dip Galvanizing Hot-dip galvanizing service for metal parts up to 7m in length per ISO 1461 standard, providing a zinc coating of 70-100 microns thickness. Maximum processing dimensions are 6.8 x 1.35 x 2.5m and max weight 5.3 tonnes. Galvanized parts require no maintenance in normal environments for approximately 50 years and self-repair minor scratches up to 5mm electrochemically. Targeted at metal fabrication companies and construction contractors in Scandinavia and the Baltics.
• Hot-Dip Galvanizing in Drum Centrifugal hot-dip galvanizing service for small parts and threaded components up to 500mm in length, operating at approximately 100°C higher than conventional galvanizing. Maintains thread profile quality per ISO 10684 with maximum part weight of 6 kg. Targeted at metal fabrication companies requiring corrosion protection for small threaded parts.
• Duplex (Zinc + Paint) Combined coating system of hot-dip galvanizing followed by powder coating in an integrated oven (7m x 1.4m x 2.4m). Provides enhanced appearance and more durable finish with standard coating thickness of 70+/-5 microns in RAL and RR colors. Targeted at metal and construction customers requiring both corrosion protection and aesthetic finish.
• Passivation Post-galvanizing treatment that creates an additional thin zinc layer to protect against oxidation (white rust) and maintain commercial appearance over extended periods. Offered as a complementary service to metal fabrication and construction customers.
• Shot-Blasting Surface preparation service performed on automatic lines and manually for larger parts. Helps build proper zinc layer adhesion and removes sharp edges from workpieces prior to galvanizing. Targeted at metal fabrication customers needing surface preparation prior to coating.
• Coating Thickness Measurement Quality assurance service measuring coating thickness according to customer specifications and issuing measurement reports. Targeted at metal fabrication and construction customers requiring documented quality verification of galvanized coatings.

Broad incumbents

• SSAB: Nordic (Swedish-Finnish) steel manufacturer with significant hot-dip galvanizing capacity serving construction and heavy machinery customers across Scandinavia. Competes in the same regional customer base and offers galvanized steel products as part of broader steel portfolio.
• Tata Steel Europe: European operations of Tata Steel with galvanizing lines serving construction, infrastructure, and industrial customers across the UK and continental Europe. Competes in the same end markets via in-line mill galvanizing at much larger scale.
• ArcelorMittal Europe: Global integrated steel leader with extensive European galvanizing capacity. Provides galvanized steel products to the same construction and metal-fabrication end markets as Paldiski, but at a different scale and through a mill-based rather than service-center model.
• Salzgitter AG: German integrated steel producer with substantial galvanizing operations serving European construction, automotive, and industrial customers. Comparable on end markets and coating capability, though much larger and more diversified than Paldiski.
• Voestalpine Steel Service Center: Austrian integrated steel and metal processing group with significant galvanizing capacity across Europe. Overlaps on coating/finishing services but operates as part of a much larger vertically integrated steel portfolio rather than a focused service provider.

Emerging players

• Ruukki Construction (SSAB subsidiary): Finnish/ Nordic building products business offering galvanized and coated steel components for construction. Comparable on regional Nordic/Baltic customer overlap and on galvanized product offering, though more focused on finished building components than toll galvanizing.
