PROVEN COM­PO­NENTS. EX­CEL­LENT RE­SULTS.

What are you look­ing for in a sup­plier of com­po­nents and process so­lu­tions? Ex­pe­ri­ence? Re­li­a­bil­ity? A proven track record?

VON AR­DENNE equip­ment is used in over 50 coun­tries. We have es­tab­lished an in­stalled base of hun­dreds of coat­ing sys­tems world­wide, rang­ing from small tools to equip­ment for large-area coat­ing ap­pli­ca­tions.

Every day, our cus­tomers are fac­ing the chal­lenge of stay­ing in a lead­ing po­si­tion. Why do they choose VON AR­DENNE Process So­lu­tions as their part­ner? For our keys to suc­cess, please con­sult our brochure.

MISSION

Our mis­sion is to cre­ate value by bring­ing our in­dus­try lead­ing tech­nol­ogy and process ex­pe­ri­ence to our cus­tomers. We want to achieve that by of­fer­ing state-of-the-art hard­ware so­lu­tions with best-in-class per­for­mance spec­i­fi­ca­tions and re­li­a­bil­ity.

Fur­ther­more, we of­fer ad­vanced process con­trol hard­ware and soft­ware so­lu­tions to con­trol processes of sin­gle sources or in com­plex layer stacks set­tings. It is our aim to de­liver a guar­an­teed process re­sult ac­cord­ing to your spec­i­fi­ca­tions and time­line. And we are con­fi­dent that we can of­fer you what you are look­ing for in a sup­plier.
