Wall Colmonoy Canada is a privately owned thermal spray supplier and manufacturer headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. Known for rapid service, expert knowledge, and leading-edge products, we proudly serve clients across the oil & gas, petrochemical, and mining sectors.

Formerly Indurate Alloys, the company was founded in 2011 with a vision of delivering innovation, exceptional customer service, and high-quality, cost-effective products to thermal spray applicators across Canada. Over the past decade, the team has expanded facilities, grown product lines, built strong industry partnerships, and launched its own premium PTA powders.

In July 2024, Indurate Alloys joined the Wall Colmonoy family.

Today, our team continues that legacy of service excellence and technical expertise as part of Wall Colmonoy’s global group.
