Arceo Engineering is located in Liège (Belgium) and has an industrial production line dedicated to PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology. The principle of PVD consists of accelerating ions under a vacuum and colliding them with a coating material. This removes atoms away from the material and deposits them evenly across the surface of the sheet to be coated.This technology enables many different types of new development that can be applied in a broad range of markets : energy… Show more Arceo Engineering is located in Liège (Belgium) and has an industrial production line dedicated to PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology. The principle of PVD consists of accelerating ions under a vacuum and colliding them with a coating material.
