Events

The 21st edition of the leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning will be staged at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center, running from 7 to 9 October 2025.

The V Conference is the meeting place for the vacuum, plasma and coating industry. Speakers and exhibitors from industry and science will present the latest developments and innovations in the sector to the professional audience. The ideal place to once again exchange ideas with customers and make new contacts.

Challenges for coating technology: What is sustainability, what are the regulatory requirements and how is the CO2 equivalent calculated? How to optimize CO2 emissions by choosing the right surface treatment and coating tool, the right materials and optimal processes. Questions we would like to discuss in this workshop. For your company, sustainability means thinking and acting for the long term. At least two aspects of sustainability must be taken into account in surface technology. Surface technology and surface treatments can significantly reduce the environmental impact of the products and systems that rely on them. On the other hand, the application of surface technologies also has an impact on the environment. It is important to understand the quantitative value on a CO2 equivalent basis for a system and technology. What can be done to reduce the CO2 equivalent of surface treatment technologies?

The aim of this workshop, which was held in 2021 for the first time, is to provide a forum for presenting recent results in the field of magnetron sputter epitaxy and exchanging novel ideas and concepts. Moreover, the workshop will also present an opportunity for the diverse scientific community that is using and actively developing magnetron sputter epitaxy techniques to meet and form a stronger collaborative network.

The Workshop is planned for: Users of plasma technology Developers in plasma technology and plant engineering Physicists and technicians from basic research

Roll-to-roll coating of flexible materials
