Innovative path for special pipe fittings

Challenge closed

THE CHALLENGE

Our market-leading products hold the most important certifications of the industry. Tupy fittings are ideal for several applications in large industrial and commercial worksites and in diverse segments like civil construction, sanitation, irrigation, and oil & gas.

Tupy’s skills allow the development of hydraulic pipe fittings for the most varied needs. In some cases, these solutions are specific and produced on demand. Aiming to optimize our production and expand the level of quality service delivered to our customers, we are looking for alternatives for the manufacture of special pipe fittings that are market competitive and viable from the production point of view.

The goals are to enable new production alternatives, minimize the need for storage of these special fittings due to the minimum batch production, and enhance our customer service capacity in industrial hydraulics.

Some options are solutions involving 3D printers, sintering, and other alternatives that our traditional process doesn’t already use.
