Trophies and Decorations
Processes for manufacturing sports trophies and decorations with a high level of detail.
Solutions for the manufacture of trophies, medals, military decorations, and awards.
Sports trophies, commemorative medals, and military decorations are pieces designed to represent recognition, merit, belonging, and symbolic value. Their manufacture requires processes capable of accurately reproducing coats of arms, texts, emblems, logos, reliefs, and decorative elements, while maintaining high aesthetic quality in each piece.
At CONIEX, we collaborate with manufacturers specialised in the production of medals, trophies, plaques, badges, and decorations, providing technical materials that facilitate the manufacture of ornamental metal parts with high definition, production stability, and high-quality finishes.
Our solutions are used in the manufacture of:
- sports medals
- trophies with metal elements
- commemorative plaques
- badges and awards
- military decorations
- institutional medals
- emblems, badges and honorary pieces
Thanks to our casting, decorative enamelling, and surface treatment technologies, manufacturers can produce parts with a high level of detail and attractive visual finishes, suitable for sports competitions, commemorative events, institutional awards, or military distinctions.
Silcodisc silicone moulds for medals, badges and ornamental parts.
The production of medals, badges, decorations, and decorative metal elements is usually carried out by centrifugal casting, a process that makes it possible to obtain parts with defined reliefs and good repeatability in production runs.
For this application, CONIEX offers SILCODISC, a range of technical silicones for the manufacture of centrifugal casting moulds. These moulds make it possible to accurately reproduce elements such as coats of arms, text, numbers, symbols, laurels, stars, military emblems, or decorative figures that form part of the design of medals, trophies, and decorations.
SILCODISC silicones stand out for:
- great capacity for reproducing fine details
- stability during the casting process
- resistance to repeated production cycles
- suitable elasticity to facilitate the extraction of parts with reliefs
- good definition in text, coats of arms and ornamental elements
These properties make it possible to manufacture sports medals, plaques, badges, insignia, and decorations while maintaining consistent quality throughout the entire production process.

Decoration of medals and trophies with ESMALTEX enamels.
Many medals, trophies, badges, and decorations incorporate coloured elements that help highlight coats of arms, flags, logos, official symbols, or ornamental details.
For this type of application, CONIEX offers ESMALTEX, epoxy resins for cold enamelling on metal. These enamels make it possible to fill engraved areas or reliefs on the part, creating finishes with strong visual contrast and improving the legibility of graphic elements.
Its main features include:
- good colour stability
bright and defined finishes - excellent adhesion to metal
- resistance to use and handling
- bisphenol A-free (BPA-free) formulation
These properties make ESMALTEX enamels a suitable solution for decorating sports medals, badges, insignia, emblems, and military decorations that require colour, gloss, and precision in the finish.

Surface preparation and part finishing.
To achieve a good final result, it is important to properly prepare metal surfaces before applying decorative treatments, enamelling, or subsequent coatings.
The CONIEX Surface division offers solutions that help improve metal cleaning and preparation, facilitating operations such as enamelling, polishing, brightening, or surface coating.
Proper surface preparation helps achieve parts with more uniform finishes, better visual quality, and greater adhesion of decorative materials.

Training in centrifugal casting and medal enamelling.
CONIEX also offers training programmes aimed at professionals in the sector who wish to learn or improve their knowledge of ornamental metal part manufacturing.
These courses combine technical and practical content, making it possible to better understand each stage of the production process, from mould manufacturing to the final finish of the part.
The training courses include:
- training in centrifugal casting, covering mould manufacturing techniques, silicone disc preparation, and casting process control.
- training in decorative enamelling, focused on the application of ESMALTEX epoxy resins and control of the final finish.

Coniex, technical solutions for manufacturers of trophies, medals, and decorations
At CONIEX, we work with ornamental part manufacturers, providing technical materials and specialised advice to optimise production processes and improve the final quality of the parts.
Our materials are used in different sectors related to the manufacture of medals, trophies, badges, and decorative metal elements, providing reliable solutions for the awards and recognition industry.
Optimize your casting process
In centrifugal casting, efficient use of raw materials also helps improve process profitability. Controlled sprue recovery reduces waste and allows part of the metal generated after each casting cycle to be reused.
