01 — About the conference

For 22 years, we have connected research with industry.

The development of thin films and coatings brings new materials, manufacturing methods and testing requirements. The conference provides a forum for sharing experience among experts from industry, universities and research organisations.

Alongside the traditionally strong PVD technologies and plasma nitriding, thermal spraying will again have a prominent place in this year’s programme. Our goal is open technical discussion, practical inspiration and new partnerships.
