Poeton to show surface engineering tech at Advanced Engineering

Poeton Industries will be at this year’s Advanced Engineering Show at the NEC in Birmingham on the 31st October and 1st November, to show its latest advanced surface engineering technologies.

As surface engineering specialists, the Poeton team will be on hand to discuss the range of coatings offered at the company’s Gloucester, Cardiff and Poland sites.

In addition to the complete range of standard surface treatments including anodising, hard chrome and electroless nickel, Poeton also offer advanced technologies through the Apticote range. These treatments provide unique performance advantages and bespoke solutions beyond standard treatments, having been developed by Poeton’s in-house research and development team, designed to solve problems including wear, corrosion, friction and abrasion.
