Hirtenberger Engineered Surfaces

Hirtenberger Engineered Surfaces is an E2E process provider and technical partner for innovative functional metallic surfaces. The surface of a component is typically of critical importance for its industrial application. Based on extensive research and many years of development work, we offer smart production processes for electrochemical surface finishing that go beyond the limitations of even state of the art galvanic coatings. Our deep understanding of the actual surface reactions provides the basis for the relevant electrochemical surface processes to get the optimum result. Fast and reliable application of new processes to customer production facilities is ensured by our knowledge-based development instead of trial and error.Hirtenberger Engineered Surfaces is an E2E process provider and technical partner for innovative functional metallic surfaces.

Our products are grouped into four business fields, and include multifunctional coatings based on pulse plating for the highest protection of various metallic substrates, high-quality nanowires, processes and finishing modules for AM metal parts, and part-integrated sensor surfaces. Our portfolio is supplemented by extensive options for process control, layer characterization and failure analysis. As Austria's largest galvanic laboratory, we provide comprehensive services for surface engineering and the industrial implementation of new galvanic process solutions.

Hirtenberger Engineered Surfaces is very experienced in the participation within collaborative European R&D projects and is in cooperation with partner Universities all over Europe involved in recruitment, training and integration of young scientists in the field of applied electrochemical surface technology.
