Cover page of the east whitepaper 2025: On the potential of combining dry and wet coating processes

The aim of the present whitepaper is to recommend future directions for the European surface technology industry to remain relevant and competitive, and furthermore, to suggest supportive actions stimulating this development. This is done from a pan-European view based on an analysis of the potential of combining dry (typically PVD) and wet (typically electrolytic) coating processes for obtaining optimal functionality. The work has been carried out by a group of European experts representing different sectors and regions.
