Pre-Treatment, A Non-Negotiable Process Of TAM.

TAM’s pre-treatment process is a comprehensive process undertaken according to the guidelines set out in SANS 10064:2011 as well as the recommendations of the steel manufacturers and SASSDA.

We are proud to be an ISO 9001:2015 certified company. Through our comprehensive quality management system we have the ability to consistently provide a service that meets both our customers and regulatory requirements.

Our staff meticulously follows stringent cleaning and pre-treatment protocols for each of the various metal types we work with. Our fully automated, multi-metal pre-treatment plant uses the latest industry technology and eco-friendly pre-treatment processes to consistently pre-treat each product.
