With more than 60 years of experience, TURCO began its operations as a manufacturer of specialised products for the aerospace industry.
While aviation remains the company's primary area of expertise, over time it has expanded into multiple sectors.
The complexity and high technical demands of aerospace engineering provided TURCO with a solid technological foundation—one that continues to inform and enhance all its product developments today.
A strategic entry into tank cleaning
TURCO’s expansion into the tank cleaning sector was driven by its strategic location near the Port of Barcelona, one of the most significant cargo ports in the Mediterranean.
The proximity to several of Spain’s largest tank cleaning stations allowed for close collaboration with clients, leading to the development of tailored solutions for the complex and varied needs of these facilities.
Today, TURCO products are used in the vast majority of tank cleaning stations in Spain.
On the international front, TURCO has expanded steadily throughout Europe, becoming a trusted supplier for leading cleaning centres in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Poland.
The company’s commitment to technical support ensures that clients —regardless of size — receive customised guidance and solutions for even the most difficult cleaning scenarios.
Tackling the industry's toughest challenges
Tank cleaning often involves dealing with an immense variety of transported substances, from food products to industrial chemicals. Clients require versatile cleaning agents that can address multiple challenges without the need for case-specific products.
The company meets this need with solutions that are effective, safe for personnel, environmentally responsible, and cost-efficient.
Among the most complex situations are chemical residues such as resins, dispersions, latex, additives, fatty acids, and heavy oils.
TURCO has developed TRANSMASTER, a versatile cleaning agent that effectively replaces hazardous solvents—traditionally used in such cases—with a safer, more efficient alternative.
A key advantage is that operators no longer need to enter the tanks to achieve a thorough clean, greatly enhancing workplace safety.
Today, when it comes to cleaning difficult residues, TRANSMASTER has become the product most appreciated by professionals.
Tailored solutions for every system
In addition to direct application methods, TURCO also offers solutions for circulation systems, a common feature in larger cleaning centres, often used in conjunction with high-pressure cleaning heads.
The company also addresses the demanding task of cleaning MDI and TDI residues — a process that has historically required high-cost, high-pressure equipment and exposed workers to significant risks.
TURCO’s specialised product for this application has been delivering excellent results with far fewer complications.
Certified products for food-grade tank cleaning
Food-grade tank cleaning is another area where TURCO stands out. In response to the industry’s increasingly strict standards, the company has developed cleaning agents that are NSF-certified, ensuring both safety and regulatory compliance.
A comprehensive range of cleaning products
TURCO’s product line does not stop at internal cleaning agents. The company also provides auxiliary solutions for:
• Exterior cleaning;
• Restoration and conditioning of stainless steel and aluminium tanks or silos;
• Defoamers;
• Deodorisers.
This comprehensive offering allows cleaning facilities to rely on TURCO as a single, trusted provider for all their maintenance and hygiene needs.
