At the heart of the combined technology portfolio is Surfunction's industrialized DLIP technology (Direct Laser Interference Patterning). It enables the precise micro- and nanostructuring of surfaces for the targeted influencing of physical, chemical or biological properties.
Coating systems for industrial use
In combination with Surcoatec's expertise in vacuum-based thin-film technology, new system solutions are created: structured, functionalized surfaces with precisely matched layer systems that are reproducible, scalable and suitable for industrial use. With the now expanded technology platform, Surfunction can address demanding markets:
- Medical technology: antibacterial, anti-adhesive instruments with biocompatibility
- Optics & sensor technology: scratch-resistant, low-reflection lenses
- Tool & mould making: wear-optimized, structured surfaces
- Mobility & mechanical engineering: energy-efficient, functional components
Locations in strong industrial regions
The new structure combines the Saarbrücken and Dresden sites (research & development) with Düren (production) and creates an efficient organization in regions with strong industrial sectors. "With Surcoatec, we are not only gaining an experienced team, but also uniting two complementary technological worlds. This is a strong signal for intelligent surface solutions from Europe," says Dr. Dominik Britz, CEO of Surfunction.
