149 sites. 145 service and production centres. 37 countries. Over
6,100 employees. More than 80 years experience. This is the
Oerlikon Group’s Surface Solutions Segment, under whose roof the
Oerlikon Balzers and Oerlikon Metco brands have been working
together for almost two years. In the course of these two years the
portfolio of the two brands has been continually expanded by com-
plementary technologies, competencies and target markets, and
the Segment has emerged as a leading global provider of surface
solutions for components and tools for a variety of industries.
Today you are holding the first issue of our customer magazine
in your hands. Because we feel the Surface Solutions Segment
story is worth telling. BEYOND SURFACES tells it – in stories for,
and about you, our clients; in stories that are focused on our shared
passion: Surface Solutions.
BEYOND SURFACES shows you, how, and for what our heart
beats, and how people, markets and technologies merge to
create this successful “story”, which is lived each and every day
and with great passion within the Surface Solutions Segment.
I wish you an enjoyable read.
Alessandra Doëll
Head of Communications
