Thin Film Coatings Service to Industry
At the service of Industry, Qioptiq operates one of the largest coating facilities in Europe.
It undertakes work for a wide range of sub-contractors and OEMs, providing a choice of over 1000 proprietary coatings.
Specialists in the ultra-durable, thin-film coatings industry since 1965, the company now applies coatings to over 100,000 components a year.
Its expert, specialist staff offers customers the benefits of more than 120 engineering years experience in this industry.
In addressing the widely varied requirements of its customers, Qioptiq adopts a solutions-solving approach - rather than simply providing a standard product response. Reflecting this philosophy, the company also offers a design consultancy service, for customers who require this type of support and assistance.
The company’s extensive facilities, featuring more than 40 coating machines, enable it to provide one of the broadest ranges of coatings in Europe - which avoids the need for customers to move their products from one coating contractor to another in order to obtain the necessary number of different coatings.
The aim of Qioptiq is to provide a coatings service of unparalleled quality, reliability and world-class technical support to its customers.
