HALL OF COATINGS
WELCOME TO THE GTV-HOUSE OF COATINGS
– OUR COMPETENCE CENTRE
When specialist know-how, state-of-the-art equipment technology and passion come together, nothing less than perfection can be the result. In our new competence center, we develop - together with you - the perfect coating solution for your requirement. From the selection of the suitable coating process and the appropriate coating material as well as the development of the optimum application parameters to the subsequent analysis and evaluation - we are your competent partner!
Our research and development building, completed in 2020, now accommodates all of this under one roof.
