What we do

SILICON is a metal fabrication company, that designs and manufactures a wide range of specialist heat-resistant anchors for use in the petrochemical, cement, incineration, steel, and power industries.

In parallel, we have developed our stud welding system – Rapid Arc Welding – to raise the quality and efficiency of the anchor installation process to the highest possible standards.

SILICON History

SILICON, founded in The Netherlands by Wouter Garot in 1982, was established to address the shortcomings of the traditional heat-resistant anchor industry, which had not kept pace with the increasing loads and stresses of modern applications.

These advancements set a new standard in the field, addressing critical shortcomings and paving the way for more efficient and reliable industrial applications.
