The Material Works Ltd. (TMW) of Red Bud, Illinois USA is pleased to announce that Lloyds Engineering Works Ltd. (LEW) of Mumbai, India has purchased patents from TMW that allows Lloyds to exclusively sell and manufacture Eco Pickled Surface (EPS) equipment to all global markets except the greater China region and a 350 mile radius around Red Bud where TMW will continue to operate its EPS coil line and plans to further expand its Processing Division.
Krishna Gupta - Executive Director of Lloyd Engineering Works & Kevin Voges - President of The Material Works

Since 1974, LEW has been producing large, complex fabrications and machinery for steel mills, hydrocarbon processing plants, nuclear energy projects, marine and port industries, and civil engineering/infrastructure projects for world-class steel mills from its ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturing facilities.

“We came to realize that Lloyds was the perfect company to make the EPS process much bigger than we could ourselves,” states TMW President Kevin Voges. “Lloyds’ low manufacturing costs, coupled with their broad engineering expertise, will deliver low-priced, high-quality pickling equipment that significantly outperforms acid pickling.”

LEWL Executive Director Krishna Gupta adds, “We are thrilled to embark on this journey to transform the steel industry by eliminating acid in the pickling process. EPS is not only environmentally conscious but also offers a competitive edge, with higher profitability than conventional acid pickling methods. With 85% of Flat Steel products requiring pickling, the opportunity is great.

With LEWL’s robust manufacturing capabilities and dedication to scaling this technology, we are confident in our ability to meet worldwide demand efficiently. Our strategic move will revolutionize the steel sector, paving the way for a sustainable future.”
