Dear Visitor, TMEC Team are happy to welcome you on our web-site. Over the years we keep working on innovative thermal technologies with a specific focus on the green and sustainable world economy. Our priority is smart solutions applied in industries aiming at energy efficiency with low environmental impact. For any additional information please feel free to contact us.
Thermal & Material Engineering Center is a Poland-based entity established as an R&D company by a group of prominent scientists and engineers with a long-term experience in metallurgy, chemical, mining and energy sectors of economy in order to boost smart thermal solutions for emerging industrial technologies.
TMEC's history goes back to 2002 when we started our research activity as a part of two Departments, Thermal Industrial Engineering and Industrial Furnaces, at the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine.
To get closer to our customers on the global market, in 2018, our team evolved into an independent private company with a wide range of services from fundamental research to full functioning up-scale industrial products.
In 2022, TMEC secured its legal presence in the European Union by relocating to Poland.
