VON ARDENNE develops and manufactures equipment for industrial coatings on materials such as glass, wafers, metal strip and p ... olymer films. These coatings give the surfaces new functional properties and can be between one nanometer and a few micrometers thin, depending on the application. Our customers use these materials to make high-quality products such as architectural glass, absorbers and absorber tubes for solar-thermal power plants, reflectors for lighting systems, displays for smartphones and touchscreens, solar modules and heat protection foil for automotive glass. We supply our customers with technologically sophisticated vacuum coating systems, extensive expertise and global service. The key components are developed and manufactured by VON ARDENNE itself. This enables us to guarantee maximum precision and customer satisfaction. Systems and components from VON ARDENNE make a valuable contribution to protecting the environment. They are vital for manufacturing products which help to use less energy or to generate energy from renewable resources.
