Revenue model

1. Lohnbeschichtung (Contract Coating): Core competency is coating customer-designed components using thermal spray processes. Customers deliver pre-fabricated parts which are coated and post-processed according to specifications. The company measures and documents desired parameters on request.
2. Komplettfertigung (Complete Manufacturing): Complete turnkey production of components according to customer construction and drawings. Approximately 85% of all components coated at the facility are also completely manufactured there, ensuring highest precision and smooth processes.
3. Regeneration (Restoration Services): Restoration service for worn components, rebuilding functional layers on coated parts and restoring parts to exact geometry with same or better surface quality than new condition.
4. After-Sales Services: Comprehensive after-sales program including consultation on assembly, commissioning and optimization; regeneration service for quick repairs; and call-off contracts for spare parts.

Core offering

Putzier Oberflächentechnik provides industrial thermal spray coating services (Lohnbeschichtung) for the application of wear- and corrosion-resistant protective coatings and functional coatings on customer components. The company also offers complete manufacturing (Komplettfertigung) of coated parts and regeneration (restoration) of worn components, complemented by design and material consulting. Customers send industrial parts to Putzier, which are coated or finished in-house using one of four thermal spray processes and returned ready for installation.

Product overview

Putzier Oberflächentechnik is a thermal spray coating service provider offering four primary thermal spray processes: Drahtflammspritzen (wire flame spraying), HVOF/HVAF (high-velocity oxy/air fuel spraying), Plasmaspritzen (plasma spraying), and Pulverflammspritzen (powder flame spraying). The company provides three main service lines: Lohnbeschichtung (contract coating for customer-supplied parts), Komplettfertigung (complete in-house manufacturing including CNC machining and coating for ~85% of parts), and Regeneration (restoration of worn components). Coating offerings are organized into Schutzschicht (protective coatings for wear and corrosion resistance) and Funktionsschicht (functional coatings for electrical/thermal properties and friction control). The company also provides consulting services and after-sales support. The core differentiator is vertical integration from design consultation through machining, coating, and post-processing.

Products and services

• Thermal Spray Coating Services Contract thermal spray coating (Lohnbeschichtung) for industrial customers. Components supplied by the customer are coated in-house using one of four thermal spray processes (wire flame, HVOF/HVAF, plasma, or powder flame) to apply protective coatings (Schutzschichten) for wear and corrosion resistance, or functional coatings (Funktionsschichten) with defined technical properties. For industrial buyers across machine and plant engineering, pumps, hydraulics, oil and gas, food, packaging, and similar sectors.
• Complete Manufacturing (Komplettfertigung) End-to-end manufacturing of finished coated components for industrial customers. Putzier handles the full production chain beyond coating, delivering ready-to-install parts rather than only the coating step. For customers who want a single supplier for finished, coated industrial components.
• Component Regeneration (Regeneration) Restoration of worn, damaged, or out-of-spec industrial components by re-coating or re-building functional surfaces using thermal spray processes. Provides a cost-effective alternative to replacement of high-value parts such as shafts, bearings, and hydraulic components. For industrial maintenance buyers and operators seeking to extend component life.
• Design and Material Consulting (Konstruktions- und Werkstoffberatung) Technical consulting covering material selection and design considerations for coated components. Putzier advises customers on which base materials and coating systems to use for a given wear, corrosion, or functional requirement. For industrial engineering and procurement teams specifying coated components.
• After-Sales Service Post-delivery support for coated and manufactured components, including handling of warranty and follow-up requirements. Provided to industrial customers as part of the ongoing customer relationship.

Broad incumbents

• Sulzer (Surface Solutions): Swiss industrial group with a Surface Solutions division offering thermal spray and other coatings for pumps, hydropower and process industries. Directly comparable in coatings technology and customer overlap (pump manufacturers, hydraulics).
• Castolin Eutectic: Long-established European specialist in wear-protection and surface-engineering solutions, including thermal spray and weld-overlay technologies. Overlaps with Putzier in machine component restoration and wear-protection service offerings.
• Oerlikon Metco: Global leader in surface solutions and thermal spray equipment and services, offering HVOF, plasma and other spray processes for industrial wear and corrosion protection. Directly comparable in service portfolio but operates at vastly larger scale and global footprint than Putzier.
• Bodycote: World's largest thermal processing services provider, including a thermal spray / surface coatings division serving aerospace, automotive and industrial customers. Comparable in service offering (contract coating) but with a global network of plants Putzier cannot match.

Regional players

• Wallwork Group: UK provider of heat treatment and surface engineering services including thermal spray. Comparable as a contract service provider to industrial OEMs, but UK-focused and not a direct German-market competitor.
• Plasma Coatings Ltd: UK-based thermal spray applicator offering plasma, HVOF, flame and arc spray services to industrial customers. Comparable in service scope and process mix, primarily serving the UK market rather than competing head-to-head in Germany.

Direct peers

• Durum Verschleissschutz: German specialist in wear-protection coatings, including PTA, laser cladding and thermal spray consumables/services for industrial wear applications. Direct German competitor with overlapping customer base in machine building, mining and bulk goods.
• HEF Group: French-headquartered specialist in surface treatments and tribology, including PVD, nitriding and thermal-spray-based coatings for mechanical components. Closely comparable mid-sized European contract coater with similar vertical-market exposure (auto, hydraulics, industrial machinery).
• Thermion GmbH: German specialist in thermal spray coatings and surface engineering, serving industrial customers with HVOF, plasma and flame processes. Closely comparable as a German mid-sized contract coater addressing similar wear- and corrosion-protection use cases.
• Flame Spray Technologies: Netherlands-based company producing thermal spray equipment and offering coating services, including HVOF and plasma processes for industrial wear and corrosion protection. Comparable in process portfolio with a similar European mid-market positioning.
