About

Built for the spec, not the slogan.

Emile Pitcher

Corrosio (Pty) Ltd was founded in Johannesburg in 2021 to close a gap in steel, corrosion and coatings in South Africa. We supply the equipment, deliver third-party inspection, and train the people who have to live with the result. The work is unglamorous on purpose. Blast pots, gauges, booths, reports. Emile Pitcher put FROSIO Level III and AMPP CIP on the company because the steel does not care about a website.
