Our edge

Regenerate · Protect · Extend

Our approach

Equipment refurbishment

Corrosion protection

Rehabilitation of structures

Fire protection · durability

Circular economy

Under the Regen Sense™ brand, GTA Group brings together the expertise of three complementary subsidiaries: GTA EPROLOR (refurbishment · powder coating), GTA Coatings (high-performance coatings) and GTA Lux (structural rehabilitation · R&D engineering and design office).

Together, they embody a strong industrial conviction: “Extending the service life of equipment and structures is more cost-effective and more environmentally responsible than replacing them.”

Regen Sense™ turns this conviction into certified, measurable and documented technical services.

Environmental traceability and CO2 reporting

The Regen Sense™ difference

Regen Sense™ is our conviction that every piece of infrastructure deserves a second performance — not just a second life.

An industrial conviction and a demanding technical approach. GTA Group proves that the circular economy applied to infrastructure is not a compromise but lasting performance — documented figure by figure. Refurbishing equipment means maintaining the technical level of service, reducing the carbon footprint and easing budget pressure on clients. It also means meeting growing regulatory obligations (AGEC Act, fire regulations, European corrosion standards) with a certified industrial solution. The Regen Sense™ approach applies to surfaces — but also to structures: from the paint molecule to the rehabilitation of the structure, GTA Group covers the entire value chain of industrial regeneration.

Why Regen Sense™?

6 reasons to choose GTA regeneration

Measurable savings

Up to 70% savings compared with new construction — verifiable on every project and documented at the end of the assignment.

Documented decarbonisation

Avoided CO₂ footprint measured and certified on every project — indicators compatible with CSR reports and Scope 3 carbon footprint assessments.

Regulatory compliance

AGEC Act (reuse in public contracts), EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR), R30–R120 fire protection, SS4, ACQPA, Efectis and CERIB certifications — compliance built into the process.

Integrated Engineering & Design

BIM-Revit design, structural calculations, tailored certification — GTA Lux provides end-to-end technical control, with no subcontracted thinking.
