PVT started the new year 2016 with enthusiasm and energy. First in Bangalore for IMTEX from 21.1.-26.1.2016 as an exhibitor. The decision to participate was made rather on short notice end of 2015. But it proved to be the right decision, over five exhibition days there were numerous new contacts with local suppliers and manufacturers, including technologically challenging discussions and the debate of potential projects.
Not all visitors to the exhibition booth were from India, many well-known guests came by as European competitors wanted to catch up on the international activities of a medium sized company from Bensheim.
The existing impression of India not going to be the No. 1 market for PVD coatings systems proved to be correct. But there was a significantly stronger interest in coating services, which came up in the many discussions. That is reason enough for PVT to consider the start-up of a coating center in the province of Maharastra.
„We are going to investigate this option carefully“ Dr.-Ing. Herbert M. Gabriel, president of PVT, says „we want to collect all necessary data till the end of this year to be able to decide whether a considerable investment like this will fit into our business strategies.“
The political and social environment in India has turned out to enable a change into more positive conditions for an economic commitment in the recent past. The statements of the German Federal Foreign Office confirmed that impression. As a result of the 2014 elected new government in India inflation decreased, a clear acknowledgement of a free market economy, and investment conditions improved. These are encouraging signs, however, the cultural differences and challenges, traditions that influence economic areas and are significantly different from western ways and habits will have to be considered. This means rethinking many development processes and also perseverance.
But these requirements do not intimidate us, six coating centers in China prove that the PVT team not only manages high tech, but also cultural differences.
The next business trip to India has already been scheduled …

Delivery and installation of complete turnkey-coating centers. Participation at more than 20 exhibitions and shows in different countries: IMTEX in India, EMO in Hannover and DMC in Shanghai, just to name only a few.
Four events stand out and deserve a closer look:
1. xxl6.5 – The Heavyweight
The biggest coating system ever built by PVT, has been in China now for 12 months and has been in operation ever since without any problems.
Key data – for your information
• total height of the machine: 4.200 mm
• coating chamber for parts up to 3.000mm coating length
• designed for substrates with up to 450 mm in diameter
• designed for substrates with up to 3.000 kg weight
Our client reports satisfaction with the system and due to the in-house coating facilities a significant increase in turnover and a rise in market shares.
PVT will support this business partner strongly in the future.
2. A new location – PVT Qingdao
After PVT Germany took over 100% of the shares of PVT Shandong in Linyi the business was moved to Qingdao. New address is the ‚Sino-German-Eco-Park- Qindao (see photos) , a prospering Industry Park that includes many German businesses in the meantime.
The ‚Sino-German-Eco-Park Qingdao‘ became known due to the commitment of the German soccer club FC Bayern München to establish a soccer training school there.
The consulting board includes authority figures such as Klaus Schlappner, a famous soccer dignitary and well-known former coach of the Chinese national soccer team.
Soon after PVT Qingdao began coating operations the machine park was expanded and now includes a very efficient plasma-nitriding system. The dual chamber system has vacuum chambers of 1.000 mm in diameter and an effective height of 1.700 mm.
The PVD coating capacity will be increased by 200% at the beginning of next year, i.e. after the Chinese New Year Celebrations.
3. CLS Technology
At the beginning of the year PVT got an order to develop a highly productive batch-coating system for the deposition of optically dense and highly reflecting metal coatings (CLS technology).
The client will deposit these coatings on bulky pre-painted automotive components.
The internal dimensions of the coating chamber amount to a diameter of 1.800 mm and a height of 1.200 mm. PVT successfully reduced the cycle times of 12 minutes requested by the customer ( including loading and unloading) minutes by 25 %. Now, every 9 minutes coated substrates leave the coating chamber, much to the delight of the client.
The coating system is currently on its way to China after a successful process simulation.
4. HiPIMS and Sputtering of diamond-like carbon coatings (DLC)
Midyear PVT decided to develop the first own industrial HiPIMS/Magnetron Sputtering system. The solid basis to that were the preceding very successful process validitations .
The introduction of this product will probably take place already in spring 2018.
Thus PVT is worldwide the only company to use large rectangular sources for all its processes: arc evaporation, magnetron sputtering and HiPIMS.
The applications of these are the areas where erosion- and corrosion resistant, wear resistant and tribological (low-friction) high-performance coatings are needed for cutting tools, dies and molds, components and wear parts.
PVT will keep you posted.
