From the Laboratory to Volume Production
Coating systems for applications from R&D to industrial scale

We are facing the challenges of our current times. Together with our customers, we are working on solutions for the sustainable use of energy, its generation from renewable sources and for the mobility of the future.

As a technology pioneer, we have many years of expertise in developing coating processes as well as equipment and scaling them to meet the various requirements in R&D, pilot and high-volume production.

Our coating equipment, technologies and intelligent software are as essential for the production of highly efficient solar cells as they are for the production and use of hydrogen. They also make an important contribution to the mobility of tomorrow: here, too, ultra-thin functional layers significantly increase the efficiency of batteries, sensors or vehicle glazing.

The key components are developed and produced in-house at VON ARDENNE. We thus offer our customers sophisticated coating systems, comprehensive know-how and global service.

What we do.

„We meet the technical and technological challenges of our customers around the world. With our expertise in vacuum coating, we enable the integration of customer-specific processes, the use of new technologies and the scaling of these technologies for volume production. Our high-precision coating systems contribute to meeting global sustainability targets and stand for durability and high productivity.“
