Bodycote plc

Founded by a certain Arthur Bodycote, the Bodycote group started out making underwear. It was in the 1970s that, renamed Bodycote International, it turned definitively to its present line of business.Thus Bodycote has become a specialist in heat treatment: In its specialist centres, it offers different services including laser soldering and surface treatment in a controlled atmosphere.And that is not all. Via a procedure using inert high-pressure gases, it also strives to optimise the properties of metal mouldings (titan, nickel, steel, aluminium), tests the resistance of finished products (discs, blades, rods), and offers a coating service, including painting and plating, for example.Backed up undisputable expertise, Bodycote has made itself a valuable, even essential, partner to different sectors of industry, from aerospace to engineering, and including automotive, telecommunications, tooling and energy.Its international presence, which stretches from Europe to North America, bears witness to this.
