Technetics Group is one of six operating divisions of Enpro Industries, Inc., a producer of engineered industrial products for the processing and general manufacturing industries, worldwide.
Technetics Group is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, United States. It manufactures custom-designed industrial seals, components and subsystems for extreme application uses within the aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, nuclear power, medical, and semiconductor industries. As of 2012, Technetics Group has a workforce of approximately 800 employees, and operates manufacturing facilities in Columbia, South Carolina; DeLand, Florida; San Carlos, California; Houston, Texas; Daytona, Florida; Hatfield, Pennsylvania; Saint-Étienne, France; Singapore; and Leicester, England, United Kingdom.
In 1969, Technetics Group began a research and development partnership with CEA, the French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energy Agency. Today, Technetics Group and CEA share personnel and resources to operate maestral laboratory (spelled with a lowercase “m”), located in Pierrelatte, France. The team at maestral laboratory studies and develops sealing products for use in harsh environments, characterized, for example, by high pressure, high temperature, complex mechanical stresses, and interactions between materials, fluids, and aggressive bacteria. Personnel at maestral laboratory perform testing, characterization and simulation of sealing systems in these environments. Located in the Rhone Valley, CEA Marcoule carries out research and development in the fields of nuclear fuel cycling, waste management, dismantling and remediation technologies.
