GfE is one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of sputter targets, arc cathodes and sputtering materials for the PVD Thin Film Technology. Our high quality customized products made of pure metals, alloys, oxides and cermets are used for a wide range of applications, such as in the manufacture of special functional layers for architectural and automobile glass or in photovoltaics. GfE coating materials for wear resistance coatings significantly extend the service life of tools and thus lower the production costs and the environmental impact. The use of our products in the electronic industry allows for miniaturization and an improvement in efficiency. In optical applications PVD layer systems are used in the manufacture of e.g. laser mirrors, color filters, special filters and high quality layer systems in opthalmics.

PVD Coating is one of the most environmentally friendly coating technologies available. In the manufacture of GfE coating materials environmental concerns are absolutely met, which is reflected in our extraordinarily environmentally friendly and energy-efficient production technologies and recycling programs for our products. Constantly high quality and cost efficiency are musts. In the development of our products we focus on our customer's requirements and provide effective solutions in close cooperation based on more than 20 years of experience.
