Surface finishing

Surface finishing encompasses processes for the functional and visual improvement of workpieces, such as coating, electroplating, polishing, hardening, or refining of metal, plastic, and other surfaces. This segment is heavily influenced by requirements for corrosion protection, wear resistance, process quality, and material-appropriate functionalization. At the same time, energy and resource efficiency, the circular economy, stricter environmental and chemical regulations, and digital process monitoring are gaining increasing importance. Companies in this sector must combine technical performance, cost-effective production, and regulatory compliance. As a result, surface finishing remains crucial for durable products, stable manufacturing processes, and competitive industrial value creation.
