25 years of successful cooperation through the bundling of competences: voestalpine Böhler weldCare and "DBP"

The question was this: How can the increasing challenges of French producers of stainless steel tanks for wine with regard to corrosion be solved?  The answer: with the help of pickling products. As a proven expert in surface treatment, Bernard Plasencia, DBP, quickly realised how these challenges could be solved: by pooling expertise. Together with voestalpine Böhler weldCare (at that time the company was still called Avesta Welding), the foundation was laid for a promising cooperation in the field of pickling that would benefit French stainless steel producers immensely in the years to come.

The fruitful cooperation with the end customers made it possible to generate efficient solutions for very specific corrosion challenges directly on site in France. In addition, there was also a well-tailored joint product development to meet specific customer requirements. An intensive exchange between the DBP sales team and Böhler Welding colleagues at the voestalpine Böhler weldCare site in Malmö further promoted the successes.

What we must not forget is to highlight the names of those who have made this success possible through their very special commitment: Through the excellent contacts of many years between Anders Bornmyr, voestalpine Böhler weldCare, and Bernard Plasencia, DBP, and his team, this success story could only be written.
