Everyday innovation

Extraordinary innovation is a product of ordinary workdays at Oerlikon. The results have an impact on diverse markets, including tooling, automotive, aerospace, power generation, polymer processing and textiles.

Extreme ingenuity for demanding conditions

Extreme ingenuity for demanding conditions

In partnership with customers in these sectors, we improve efficiency in energy consumption, extend the lifespans of equipment and tools, promote increased materials recycling and support reductions in waste and CO2 emissions. To maximize their effectiveness, sustainability solutions often must perform in extreme environments. That can mean exposure to extreme heat and cold or intense friction or corrosive elements. From the depths of the ocean to the horizons of outer space, Oerlikon has pioneered technology that meets these challenges. Our innovations empower our customers and their customers to optimize efficiency and productivity in any environment.
