About Medicoat
Medicoat AG is a company specializing in thermal spray technology with a focus on plasma spraying (APS and VPS), headquartered in Mägenwil, Switzerland. For implant manufacturers, the company coats metallic, ceramic and polymer implants with rough titanium and hydroxylapatite coatings (ISO 13485, FDA-inspected) and manufactures implants and instruments as a one-stop shop: milling, turning, polishing, laser marking as well as cleanroom packaging in blister or pouch. In plant engineering, Medicoat develops and manufactures turnkey thermal spray systems including spare parts and service and delivers them worldwide. In addition, the company produces titanium and hydroxylapatite spray powders as well as resorbable blasting media (HA/TCP) in its own production. Its own research and laboratory group analyzes and develops coating properties for medical and industrial applications. Over 100 employees work at the sites in Switzerland, France and China.
