The acquisition extends and improves Oerlikon Balzers’ service offering in France and the Medical and Forming Tools market.
These high mechanical and thermal stresses result in high abrasion, increased risk of chipping and formation of cracks on cutting tools, which shortens tool service life and reduces productivity.
These high mechanical and thermal stresses result in high abrasion, increased risk of chipping and formation of cracks on cutting tools, which shortens tool service life and reduces productivity.
Just as significant are the surface and edge treatment, the interface engineering and optimal tool coating in order to achieve optimum results.
Engine pylons Tools for engine processing Requirements: High thermal load High specific cutting force Strong abrasive wear by high Cr- and Ni-shares Cutting Tools for structure development Requirements
The acquisition will also deepen access in new end markets such as aerospace, defense, power generation, oil & gas, and accelerates growth outside the traditional precision tooling and automotive sectors
EBITDA 59 61 -3.4% Operational EBITDA margin 15.8% 18.4% -260 bps The division increased order intake by 1.8% (6.3% FX adjusted) to CHF 382 million and sales by 12.5% (17.5% FX adjusted), attributed to tooling
To protect against abrasion and to increase efficiency in industrial production, most forming tools are coated – particularly in the automotive industry.
These high mechanical and thermal stresses result in high abrasion, increased risk of chipping and formation of cracks on cutting tools, which shortens tool service life and reduces productivity.
Thanks to a batch load capacity with 12 trees you can coat more tools. It's the perfect system for your standard tool coatings and is extremely versatile in production.
