A shot blast machine is used for cleaning, strengthening and polishing metal. It is used in all industrial sectors that process and handle metal, including the following:
- automotive
- aerospace
- naval
- railway
- foundry
US and Canadian shot blast machines markets comprise local, regional and international manufacturers and suppliers. Sector analysts predict that market competition will increase in the near future due to ever-growing technological innovation and to mergers and takeovers of industries in the sector.
Moreover, many local and regional suppliers offer products designed for very specific applications, for different types of end users. New companies emerging in this market find it hard to compete with international suppliers, who, in their respective catalogues, excel in terms of quality, reliability and technological innovation. According to experts, this trend is also affecting markets in Europe, China, Japan, India and South-East Asia.
With 25 years of experience in the sector, Turbotecnica Engineering S.p.A. is a successful Italian company with a production centre in Ohio, USA. Turbotecnica is firmly established in the international and North American industrial shot blast machines sector.
