PROTEM – A CUT ABOVE THE REST

"Before anything else, preparation is the key to success."
Alexander Graham Bell

The PROTEM Group: a leader in the manufacture of high quality welding preparation machines

The PROTEM Group is composed of two autonomous entities and a highly complementary brand which enables it to offer a wide range of machine-tools and services for all machining and welding preparation work for tubular components, boiler and heat exchanger tubes, for the replacement of steam generators, for the machining of flanges and valves, for the dismantling of the internals of nuclear reactors and nuclear vessels.

The first entity, PROTEM, is a company which specializes in the study, conception and manufacturing of portable machines for construction, maintenance, repair, and dismantling of tubes and pipes. PROTEM machining applications are varied from orbital cutting, severing, beveling, squaring, counterboring, facing, surfacing, drilling and boring to cutting heat exchanger tubes to various lengths, removal of weld joints, replacement of steam generators, etc.

The second entity, SERCO, is also a company which specializes in the study, conception and manufacturing of mobile machining units. SERCO’s distinction comes from its capacity to design and manufacture equipment whose components enable the machine operator to obtain a perfect rigidity when the machine is fixed onto flanges and valves. This allows very high precision machining, up to an accuracy of 0.001 mm. SERCO is widely regarded as the only worldwide manufacturer to offer machines with an independent adjustment of concentricity and flatness. Moreover, the SERCO mobile machining units are specially designed to be used in tight spaces and demanding environments.

The PROTEM Group created the ULTIMASTER brand in order to offer a complete range of orbital cutting and tube squaring machines dedicated to tubes with thin wall thickness.
