High Precision Machining - Tube and Pipe Cutting - Beveling - Facing - Counterboring - Socket Weld Removal - Flange Facing - Valve Replacement

Founded in 1972 and with several decades of experience, expertise and know-how, PROTEM supports the industrial projects of its clients throughout the world. PROTEM designs and manufactures weld preparation machines such as tube bevelers, orbital cutting machines, tube straightening machines, flange surfacers and reaming machines. PROTEM also designs and manufactures special machining machines that meet the requirements of ambitious and demanding specifications. Our clients are industrial operators in the energy sector: - Nuclear - Oil Gas - Renewable energies But also : - Defense - Chemistry - High purity (clean rooms, pharmacy, semiconductors, food industry - Shipbuilding - Prefabrication and manufacturing of tubes Generally speaking, our equipment is used when a perfect quality welded joint must be produced. The quality of the preparation then plays an essential role. PROTEM means: Professionals - Technology – Technicians - Expertise, Experience - High Precision technology

Our logo displays the words: “A Cut above the Rest” This means that our equipment remains at the cutting edge of technology, that we accept challenges and surpass them. Our production workshops allow us to carry out large-scale projects. We cite some examples which were world firsts: - Machine for dismantling the internals and vessel of a sodium-cooled reactor, KNK2, Germany - Machine for dismantling the internals of the BR3 reactor, Belgium - In-situ valve repair machine, US Navy - Machine for dismantling large components, France - Machine for repairing the sealing surfaces of VVER reactor covers and vessels - Mobile machine for chamfering nuclear submarine hulls, diameter 12 meters, thickness 100 mm, Marine Nationale, France

PROTEM constantly optimizes its performance in order to anticipate the needs and meet the expectations of its customers and partners in terms of requirements and quality. Its flexibility, responsiveness and ability to adapt to the situation presented by its clients have established the international dimension of the company. For more than 50 years, the awareness of its engineers and technicians of the issues represented by the quality of excellent preparation for welding has allowed PROTEM to reach the rank of world leader in the field of portable machine tools for preparing tubes for welding. Other companies wanted to exploit this growing market and developed a range of machines, but none were able to ensure continuous development of their products and thus prove their ability to adapt to a constantly changing market. PROTEM has been able to constantly optimize its performance in order to achieve its objectives and has demonstrated its technical competence, the reliability of its products, and above all, its understanding of the real needs of its customers.
