What durmetal® does

Durmetal® (DURMETAL® AG, Switzerland; DURMETAL® International LLC, USA) develops and manufactures coldwelding repair system kits for sealing leaks in metallic and mixed-material components. Founded in 1966 in St. Niklausen (OW), Switzerland, the company pioneered a first-of-its-kind 2-step molecular reactive coldwelding system that bonds metals, alloys, cast iron, and non-metallic materials without heat, enabling repair in environments where traditional welding or epoxy patches fail — including underwater, submerged in oil, on wet or oily surfaces, and in explosion or fire hazard zones. Products are positioned as portable do-it-yourself kits capable of stopping leaks in five minutes without system shutdown or fluid drainage, with a published compression strength of 26,853 PSI.

The product portfolio is organized into two series comprising six SKUs: the Red Kit Series (Fast Action Kit, 24 Hour Service Kit, Professional Kit) for emergency and professional-grade repairs, and the Blue Kit Series (Handy Kit, Technical First Aid Kit, Economy Kit) for routine and entry-level use cases. Manufacturing is concentrated in Switzerland with hand-made production. The company targets five industrial verticals: Shipping & Marine, Oil & Gas, Building Management & Maintenance, Electric Energy, and Solar & Renewable Energy.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of repair kits via a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct enterprise sales from Swiss and US offices, a global distributor network covering 120+ countries with an active 'Become a Distributor' recruitment program, and a direct e-commerce storefront with 'Get a Quote' and 'Start Your Repair' CTAs. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, leadership changes, or named customer logos in the available data.
