As the time goes by
With development of technological units for surface treatment and coating, the need of the testing of technologies and preparations arises. The growing demands of our customers have resulted in the establishment of the new department - Surface Quality Institute which has gradually become important support in the area of quality of the processes of surface treatment, production, human resources and environment. We are happy to share our knowledge in the form of trainings, lectures and/or conferences.
