Our Story
Cormet’s story starts with building VVER nuclear power plants at the end of the 1970s. The delivery did not include much data about the power-plant construction materials. As a government-owned research organization, VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) was asked to acquire a knowledge base, expertise and a testing laboratory. The first autoclaves and other high-pressure high-temperature corrosion- and material-testing instruments were built for VTT by Cormet’s predecessor.
During the 1980s, Cormet delivered instruments to laboratories in several European countries for nuclear power generation. Gradually, the customer base expanded to include customers in the oil and gas industry, as the same high-pressure, high-temperature instruments can be used in various applications.
In 1996 Cormet Ltd. was formed. Cormet became a privately owned company after splitting from Huber Oy, a company later bought by YIT. The customer base of Cormet started to grow outside Europe, with first deliveries to the Soviet Union and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In the early 2000s, Cormet began a strategic expansion into the emerging markets of India and Japan. This expansion focused on the research and development of equipment related to nuclear power generation, which helped to establish Cormet as a leading player in this highly specialized field.
Awareness of Cormet’s products has expanded to new markets and new agents are recruited to sell our products. First sales to China, Thailand, and Pakistan.
Currently, Cormet provides material and corrosion testing instruments to customers all over the world. We design and build customized corrosion testing instruments for various environments, applications, needs and customers. We also actively participate in Eurocorr.
