About Us
Who we are
Since 1998, Tilvis Engineering has been breaking the mould in industrial surface-preparation. What began as a bold venture into sand-blasting, bead-blasting, shot-blasting, and surface-preparation equipment has grown into a full-scale engineering and manufacturing powerhouse.
Today, we design, manufacture, and service a wide range of industrial solutions — including wheelabrators, spray booths, filtration systems, CNC milling and turning, laser cutting and bending, and specialized welding.
With over 46 years of combined industry experience, we understand the demands of modern operations and the value of equipment that performs reliably, efficiently, and safely. That’s why we’ve continually diversified our offerings, combining our heritage in blasting systems with advanced manufacturing capabilities and comprehensive service solutions — all to help our customers stay competitive and future-ready.
Our work is guided by three core principles:
Engineering Excellence & Innovation – Every machine we manufacture, every system we upgrade, and every service we provide is designed for maximum performance, durability, and minimal downtime.
Service that Adds Value – From installation and refurbishment to maintenance and process optimization, we support your operations at every stage.
Partnership for Your Success – We listen, adapt, and collaborate closely with you to solve real-world challenges, ensuring your goals drive everything we do.
While we honor our heritage in surface-preparation systems, we’re equally committed to the future. By embracing digital tools, innovative engineering, and process upgrades, we continue to expand our capabilities — helping your operations run smoother, faster, and stronger.
Choosing Tilvis Engineering means choosing a partner that combines decades of expertise, a broad manufacturing portfolio, and service excellence — all focused on your operational success.
