RETZLAFF - engineering office
for innovative welding and cutting technology – maritime technology

We are an experienced engineering office offering practice-oriented approaches to develop innovative solutions for welding and cutting of individual parts and assemblies. Therefore, we check the materials and design documents for their welding suitability - before starting production - and recommend the best welding or cutting process and the required equipment technology.

Our main business areas are:

  • Research and development projects of innovative ideas and technologies
  • Underwater welding and underwater cutting technologies
  • Underwater inspections (NDT)
  • Offshore oil and gas pipeline platforms and offshore wind turbines
  • Steel hydraulics construction
  • Metal and steel construction
  • 3D metal printing
  • International project management
