About the ADELHELM Group
The ADELHELM Group, headquartered in Eningen unter Achalm, specializes in functional surface coatings. It produces non-stick coatings, dry lubricant coatings (dry lubrication), and chemical and corrosion protection coatings based on fluoropolymers such as PTFE, PFA, FEP and ECTFE as well as PA, PEEK, PU and silicones. The processes include manual, semi- and fully automated coating, bulk coating in the dip centrifuge process, dip coating, fluidized bed coating, thermal spraying, plasma pre-treatment and coating, as well as cleanroom coating (ISO 9/8, FDA-compliant, biocompatible), O-ring coating, printing with adcoat® ML adPrint, and zinc and manganese phosphating, sandblasting and electroplating coatings (VALLON Metallveredlung, Reutlingen). Customers come from industries such as mechanical and plant engineering, automotive/e-mobility, semiconductor, chemical, food and medical technology. The Group employs more than 150 people at the Eningen and Reutlingen locations and serves customers worldwide.
