By Gencoa Ltd
Gencoa develops innovative thin-film materials and coatings using magnetron sputtering and other PVD technologies, delivering responsive support for everything from simple coating requirements to complex multi-stage coating development projects. Our expertise spans sectors including decorative coatings, semiconductors, tooling, automotive, electronics, and optical coatings, alongside advanced functional surface technologies such as biocidal coatings, barrier coatings, and tailored surface wettability, with all coating work conducted from a well-equipped coating development facility. We specialise in coating solutions for applications in harsh environments across aerospace, defence and security, nuclear fission and fusion, and energy storage, where durability, reliability, and resistance to wear, corrosion, and extreme temperatures are critical to long-term material performance. Supported by an experienced team of highly qualified scientists and engineers, our solutions combine engineering, materials science, thin-film analysis, plasma process development, and advanced process control to address complex technical challenges. Services range from one-off single or multi-layer coating applications, to comprehensive coating development programmes covering feasibility studies, material development, process optimisation, and scale-up. Gencoa's coating development supports each stage from concept to pilot production, as well as single coating jobs. Whether your application requires enhanced wear resistance, improved corrosion protection, advanced tribological performance, or reliable operation in extreme environments, Gencoa deliver prompt and bespoke coating solutions tailored to specific performance requirements. From simple coating solutions, exploration of a new coating concept, optimisation of an existing process, or evaluating a route to pilot production, Gencoa can help.
