We help our customers to become more sustainable and efficient. Emissions reduction in transportation, maximized longevity and performance of tools and increased efficiency of turbines are proven hallmarks of our global leadership. Everything we invent, develop and do is guided by our passion to support our customers’ goals and foster a sustainable world.
Empowering customers to achieve more with less
-
+5% efficiency
5% efficiency increase in jet engines through coatings is equivalent to ~26 million metric tons of CO2 reduction annually2 or 88% of Swiss CO2 emissions.1
-
-10% weight
Coatings enable the use of lightweight car materials, which will extend the driving range. For a 650-km range EV that is 10% lighter, the range extends by 5–7%, equivalent to a marathon.
-
-28% emissions
Coating extends a tool’s lifetime by 20x. For the total number of tools coated by Oerlikon annually, ~8.3 million metric tons of CO2 is avoided or 28% of Swiss CO2 emissions.1
-
-26% energy
Insulating covers for hot runners reduce heat dissipation and can save ~26% of energy consumption.
