Healthy snacks sponsored by Oerlikon Balzers for the students of the Balzers' high school - wishing them a fresh & yummy day!

From 3rd-4th July we participated at SVTM 2019: the show, organised jointly by A3TS (Association de Traitement Thermique et de Traitement de Surface) and SFV (Société Française du Vide), which provides an opportunity to meet not only the leading players in vacuum technologies and materials treatment, but also connect with over 1’000 specialists in vacuum technologies, heat treatments and surface engineering. The automotive industry is constantly challenged by legal, environmental, political and social expectations, which have to be fulfilled within the industrial process at financially tolerable conditions. With this challenge, the automotive manufacturers and their suppliers constantly push the boundaries of up-to-date technologies, searching for newer, better solutions. Oerlikon Balzers collaborates with the manufacturers and their suppliers in the development of new solutions and processes. Astrid Gies (R&D Automotive, Oerlikon Balzers) gave a presentation on “ta-C deposition by PVD: control of the surface conditions for mass production automotive applications.” If you are interested in enhanced automotive component coatings, please contact us. https://www.oerlikon.com/balzers/com/en/portfolio/balzers-surface-solutions/pvd-and-pacvd-based-coatings/balifor/balifor-t/ https://www.oerlikon.com/balzers/com/en/markets/automotive-and-transportation/automotive/

Oerlikon Balzers invited customers for two days to the first Surface Solutions Symposium to the heart of innovation at the Balzers headquarters. Of course, there was no better place to get first-hand information from a market leader, with inspiring tours and presentations on the latest coating technologies and solutions, as well as future developments of precision components. Industry thought leaders shared their perspectives on what will shape the future of coating across many industries. The evening event in Vaduz was the perfect opportunity for participants and experts from Oerlikon Balzers to enjoy good food, network and exchange ideas. #BalzersPassion

Oerlikon Balzers trains future specialists in eleven attractive professions and our apprentices are among the best in their field. In the company's own vocational training centre, they learn about state-of-the-art production processes and are involved in technological innovations. After their successfully completed three or four year apprenticeship, 17 presented their project works at the vocational training centre.
