The history of PVD hard coating is just as long lasting as PVT, one of the pioneers of this technology. 2015, 30th anniversary, PVT will look back on 30 years success in hard coatings. From the start, PVT’s scope of activities were the design and manufacture of
vacuum coating systems and the development of PVD coating processes and coatings for wear-, erosion- and corrosion-resistant as well as tribological applications.

PVT has been acting very successfully in most different markets, geographically, i.e. from North America to Asia, as well as in different industries, such as the cutting tool industry, dies and molds industry, aircraft and aerospace industry. Coincidentally with its 30th anniversary, PVT is proud to announce the sale of one of the largest hard coating systems for cutting tools. The order for this system, which is capable to coat tools up to 3.000kg, was signed just a few days ago. The system will go into production by mid 2016.
