Problem solving is what we're known for
Why USI
Mining, mineral and metal processing operations face constant pressure to meet production deadlines while avoiding unscheduled down days caused by abrasion, corrosion and erosion.
We partner with steel mills, aluminum mills and mines to improve safety and extend the life of machinery and equipment, giving you an alternative to long lead times on replacement parts and lost production. As an independent distributor, we customize solutions to fit your needs.

Who We Serve
From the pickling line to the quarry floor, here's how we help keep your equipment in service.
01
Easy-to-use pipe repair systems keep cooling water flowing so machinery runs at peak performance. In cold mill and pickling areas, we protect steel supports, roofing, floors and secondary containment from hydrochloric, phosphoric and boric acid.
02
Concrete solutions for hot mill areas handle temperatures up to 2000°F. Concrete repair also removes trip hazards: falls are the second and third costliest causes of serious workplace injuries, costing employers more than $15 billion a year according to the Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index.
03
Coal mills, precious mineral mining, and salt, potash, copper and silver mines. Metal repair composites, elastomeric conveyor belt repair and alternatives to AR plate and ceramic tile extend the life of chutes and hoppers. Coatings and VpCI products protect trucks, excavators, dozers, shovels, drills, loaders and draglines.
04
Crushers, conveyors and screens take heavy wear. Cold weld alternatives repair cracked casings, worn shafts and leaking pipes without hot work. Coatings and linings protect hoppers, chutes and pumps from abrasion and corrosion, and VpCI technology keeps electrical equipment running reliably.
05
Expert consultation and a full inventory of protective coating products for abrasion, erosion and corrosion control, so your facility runs at peak efficiency with minimal downtime.
