MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2015) - Abakan Inc. (
"PComP coatings and CermaClad metal cladding have both generated significant interest in the Mexican oil and gas, mining, cement and steel industries. We expect to start new trials and receive new orders from industry leaders in the coming months. The focus is on driving the adoption of our products across multiple sectors," stated MesoCoat de Mexico's CEO, José María Ribot Barroso. "The value proposition of Abakan's products exceeds that of any other comparable products. In every trial, our products have extended the useful life of the coated parts, on average, by 5 times expected life span. This benefit could translate into millions of dollars in savings and enable customers to exchange downtime for production time. We believe that PComP offers the best cost/benefit ratio on the market," continued Mr. Ribot Barroso.
"Our cost savings scenario exists at every single steel plant across the globe. Hundreds of iron ore production and mining facilities can benefit from PComP products. China, where Abakan's partner, UP Scientech Corp., has cultivated strong relationships with many of the major steel and mining companies, has more iron ore production and mining facilities than any other country. We believe that those relationships and more will accelerate industry-wide adoption of Abakan's PComP products leading to a significant increase in revenues," concluded Mr. Ribot Barroso.
