As president of ANCONAV, I have the opportunity to meet and discuss very often with all representatives of the marine industry in Romania. In this area, Minex has an impressive list of references (Constanta Shipyard, Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries, STX RO Offshore Tulcea, Damen Galati, Severnav, Orsova Shipyard and STX RO Offshore Braila). I can only confirm its leading position for surface treatment solutions. Minex Group deserves this appreciation, after many years of work and cooperation, during which the company offered and implemented customized solutions to each site in part, treating with seriousness and professionalism all naval sector’s specific issues.
As all strategic sectors, the shipyard industry in Romania also needs a trustworthy partner, one people can count in any situation for providing practical and efficient solutions and last, but not least, an objective one. In a highly interconnected but less impersonal world the role of such of trustful partnership becomes essential.
Minex Group proved to have the necessary high level of competence for integrating blasting and painting modern solutions in the navy field, managing to streamline the production processes, minimizing the environmental costs and automatically increasing the quality of the final works.

As president of Constanta Shipyard, I am pleased to be able talk about ourgreat partnership with MinexGroup, which began in 2000.
During 2003-2005, immediately after the shipyard’s privatization, we started developing an investment program while closely cooperating with the MINEX team of specialists. Our modernization plan included equipping the blasting and coating sectors with high tech machineries.
In 2003 the blasting-coating automatic line for steel sheets and profiles was upgraded, this having direct results on the productivity level and on the quality of or works. In the meantime we also started registering lower operating costs. In 2004 we built two new blasting &painting halls, fully equipped by MinexGroup. Our partner provided the know-how and the qualified staff necessary to fulfill all operations during the modernization process, regardless of its size and complexity. In the same time, Minex proved to be also the leading provider of accessories and consumables for the newly technical systems into place.
I strongly recommend MINEX Group to all companies looking for a reliable partner, as their team of specialists is capable to offer a high level of professional consultancywhen choosing the optimal technical & commercial solution for surface treatment. Furthermore they efficientlyorganized and implemented our entire modernization processes reaching all our expectations.

Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries is one of the most competitive shipyards in terms of new built, conversion and repair works in Europe. Since the beginning, Daewoo Mangalia experienced a significant development, the main priority being to ensure best services to all its clients.
Our collaboration with Minex Group started in 1997. After so many years of cooperation, we can only confirm that Minex proved to be a strong and reliable business partner. Not only are they capable to provide high tech integrated solutions, but they also have great knowledge and full understanding of the complex shipbuilding industry.
The first programs developed by Minex for us consisted in designing, installation and building of two blasting halls, fully equipped with the necessary accessories and machineries. Afterwards, in 2007 four blasting and painting halls had been fully upgraded; this was considered to be the largest project of its kind in Romania and one of the most relevant ones in Europe. Implementing the solutions proposed by Minex in 2008, we modernized two other older blasting & painting halls we had on the site. This increased our productivity. Minex is our main supplier of accessories and consumables necessary during production processes.
Minex Group added value to our company and we are convinced that, by continuing this partnership, we will further provide the best services to our customers.

STX RO Offshore Tulcea is part of the STX Europe International Group, which aims to be the leader in the field of cruise and technical shipbuilding. STX Europe wishes to become a top international player in the following areas: shipping, shipbuilding and all related equipment.
In 1999, we began to work with Minex Group. Together, we managed to develop the surface treatment sector on our site. Minex began as a simple supplier for us and became one of the most important partners we have. Our requests were far from simple. We started with upgrading a shot blasting & coating line, and while implementing the solution offered by Minex we managed to highly increase our productivity, while reducing the maintenance costs in the same time.
Soon afterwards we invested in developing new facilities for blasting and painting. We started with two new halls, that were supposed to be equipped according the highest technical standards. These two halls were meant to be operable by multiple people and were thought to be equipped with blasting and dedusting equipment, vacuum units and abrasive recovery systems. The concept One-Stop-Shop proposed by Minex Group appeared to be a success as it reduced the logistic costs, as long as all surface treatment operations are completed in one place. While a part of a ship is sandblasted in a hall, another is painted and dried in the next one. This solution provides the builder constancy throughout the year, highly increasing his productivity and production capacity.
The high level of consultancy offered by Minex when choosing the most appropriate technical solutions for blasting & painting processes, convinced us that we found the partner with whom we can build an honest, reliable and long-lasting relationship.
All services were offered in a professional manner, while respecting the deadlines in the meantime.
Therefore it is our great pleasure to recommend Minex Group as a reliable partner and an amazing professional in the field of surface treatment.
