About Aalberts surface technologies

Aalberts surface technologies is the leading global surface technology service provider for improving material in terms of coatings and other surface technologies such as heat treatment for regional and global customers.

We have been coating and heat treating components for different industries such as the automotive industry, mechanical engineering or medical technology and can rely on know-how of more than 80 years. We are specialised in heat treatments, surface treatments, polymer coatings, brazing, additive manufacturing and post processing.

Aalberts surface technologies conglomerates five different divisions.

While the heat treatment division includes hardening shops, that offer a wide variety of processes such as vacuum hardening, carbonitriding and hydrogen annealing. The surface treatment division includes the galvanic surface treatment of individual components including surface coating processes such as electroless nickel plating, electroplating, as well as hard anodizing and zinc flake coating. 

Polymer coatings are applied with common painting techniques and are mainly used as sliding and non-stick coatings.

Reel-2-reel is understood to mean the tape finishing of punched strips, taped pins or solid tapes.

The HIP | brazing | AM unit combines the technologies of hot isostatic pressing, brazing and additive manufacturing.

We operate a worldwide service network of more than 80 locations with mostly self-developed and patented surface technology processes, relying on more than 80 years of industry know-how.

Our strengths are the close, personal and solution-oriented dialogue with our customers, highly qualified and committed employees with many years of experience, the large variety of surface treatment processes and the worldwide orientation of our locations.

Processes

Heat Treatment

We offer all types of heat treatment processes. Our facilities are closely interlinked in terms of logistics, which mean that all processes are available to you. For a complete list and description of heat treatment technologies please use this link.

HIP | brazing | additive

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), Brazing, Additive Manufacturing. For more information, please use the link.

Polymer coating

Polymer coatings can be applied to a wide variety of base materials and offer long-lasting protection. They are particularly well-anchored mechanically to the substrate. Additional enhancement layers allow non-stick coatings to be combined with improved sliding properties. For more information, please use the link.

Reel-to-Reel

With 40 years of experience in continuous reel-to-reel finishing, you can depend on Aalberts surface technologies to innovative solutions that other companies might say are impossible. Our service includes barrel plating, continuous selective plating and rack plating. For more information, please use the link.

Surface Treatment

Almost all metallic base materials can have their properties optimised with functional surface coatings using our proprietary and patented processes, regardless of whether they should be particularly hard, smooth, wear-resistant or corrosion-resistant. For more information, please use the link.
