COVID – 19: Preventive measures by Tantec – Information for suppliers

Dear Sirs,

Transparency and continuous exchange are central cornerstones of the partnership with our suppliers. Therefore, it is important for us to inform you about the measures taken by Tantec in view of the worldwide spread of the corona virus (SARS-CoV-2). The aim of these measures is to protect our employees and to avoid negative effects on the supply chain as far as possible.

  • We assume that you will do everything in your power to prevent bottlenecks in your supply chain. Nevertheless, should there be foreseeable delivery difficulties, we request to inform your respective Procurement contact person immediately
  • In case of deliveries, especially by truck from affected crisis areas, care must be taken to ensure protection especially during unloading and loading. For truck drivers from affected crisis areas, protective equipment (e.g. in form of masks, gloves, disinfectants, etc.) is therefore issued at some locations and must be used
  • Temporarily, stricter regulations apply for access to the office building or for the provision of commissioned services on Tantec’s premises. In this context, we request that you contact the respective person on site to enquire about any access restrictions or requirements
  • Our employees are also requested to avoid contact with suppliers – especially in the case of deliveries from affected crisis areas – outside of unloading and loading if possible
  • This means that, until further notice, no visitors will be received who come from one of these defined crisis areas or who have been in contact with people from a crisis area
  • In addition, all Tantec employees are currently instructed to refrain from business trips to crisis regions affected by the spread of the coronavirus or to come into contact with people from these areas

Information on the current crisis regions can be found on the website of the Foreign Ministry of the respective target country. We would like to assure you that we at Tantec are paying the utmost attention to this situation and are focusing all our efforts on the smoothest possible cooperation with our partners in order to keep the impact of the coronavirus as low as possible.

Yours sincerely

Tantec GmbH

The largest of its kind worldwide – heat exchanger leaves production:

After years of planning and excellent welding work, the tantalum experts at Tantec completed an order at the beginning of July of which they are particularly proud: the heat exchanger for an overseas customer, reverently named “Moby Dick” by the craftsmen, is the largest ever designed and built heat exchanger out of tantalum. The heat exchanger successfully combines the planning of the design engineers with the craftsmanship of the production specialists. With a length of around 7,1 m and a diameter of 1,2 m, it has a considerable empty weight of 15.3 tonnes. With a number of 1766 pipes, it offers 426.5 square metres of exchange surface area – a world-record. 

Pfaudler and Tantec Group announce their Strategic Sales Partnership.

Luxembourg, October 1st, 2018.

Pfaudler (“Pfaudler”, www.pfaudler.com) and Tantec (“Tantec Group”, www.tantec-group.com) are pleased to announce they have formed a strategic partnership, effective October 1st, 2018.

Pfaudler invented Glasteel®, the technology of glass-lined steel, in 1884, and is the world’s leading supplier of glass-lined steel equipment.

Tantec sets the standard for quality as the leading company in the design and fabrication of Tantalum process equipment. Tantec competence in using Tantalum for pressure equipment, heat exchangers, plant components and other components is world renowned.

Tantalum is a very complementary material of construction to Glass-lined steel with similar corrosion resistant properties yet has its own strengths and advantages in given applications. This new offering serves to further improve Pfaudler’s corrosion-resistant solutions that are much more than glass-lined.” says Thomas Kehl, Pfaudler CEO.

As a result of this partnership, Tantec will have access to Pfaudler’s global sales and service organizations in all continents. At the same time, Pfaudler gains access to Tantec’s expertise in supplying Tantalum process equipment which is utilized and supplied in conjunction with Pfaudler equipment and Systems within the chemical, pharmaceutical and process related industries.

“For Tantec GmbH, as a medium-sized company, it makes a lot of sense to market our products worldwide with a competent and strong partner who is represented in almost all regions of the world. Pfaudler fulfills this requirement in an exemplary manner.” says Georg Raab, General Manager of Tantec GmbH.

This partnership was created with this growth opportunity in mind and can now draw upon the skills and resources available, allowing us to offer a full-complement of glass-lined and Tantalum equipment and services, which carries the distinction of the Pfaudler and Tantec brands.

Group overview:
Since 1884, Pfaudler has grown to be a truly global, multi-national and diverse company, employing over 1,400 employees and manufacturing facilities on four continents.

The Pfaudler Group is present on the market with several branded product lines covering a broad portfolio that includes Edlon fluoropolymers, Mavag filtration & drying, Montz engineered column systems, Normag lab & process glass, Interseal sealing technology and Pfaudler Glass-Lined & alloy systems.

Our Systems and Services capabilities allow us to support our Customers from the lab to the full-scale production plant, including optimizing and improving the whole life cycle of any process equipment normally used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Pfaudler is more, Much More than Glass-Lined.
