PVD-Coatings
Durability that lasts
eifeler — Serving with Care. Coating with Excellence.
eifeler – the coating brand of voestalpine – stands for serving with care and coating with excellence. Our advanced PVD and DLC coatings are engineered to deliver reliable performance across demanding industrial and manufacturing applications. Designed to combat common wear mechanisms, our solutions extend tool and component life, improve part quality, and reduce maintenance and scrap.
Using low‑temperature, environmentally friendly PVD technologies free from harmful chemicals, eifeler supports more sustainable production by lowering material consumption, energy use, and unplanned downtime. This combination of durability and responsibility helps customers achieve higher productivity and measurable cost savings—proving that true innovation means performance with care for the environment
Tool Wear
Hard, dense coatings protect tooling surfaces, reducing repairs and scrap.
Dimensional Distortion
High temperatures deform parts and compromise tolerances. Low temperature PVD coatings preserve geometries and reduce scrap.
Surface Defects and Wear Costs
Wear increases scrap and downtime. Our coatings deliver consistent finishes and boost productivity while reducing cycle time, energy, and maintenance.
Slow Turnaround
Local coating centers and standardized workflows speed delivery and reduce inventory carrying costs.
Solutions That Go Beyond Performance
Our PVD and DLC technologies strengthen tools and components across industries — from automotive and aerospace to tooling. By minimizing wear and extending service life, our coatings help customers cut scrap, reduce downtime, and lower overall production costs. In synergy with voestalpine’s premium steels, our solutions deliver unmatched durability, efficiency, and reliability, backed by our expertise and high‑level service to make a measurable difference.

Services That Enhance Coating Performance
Pre‑ and Post‑Treatments
Tailored preparation removes micro‑defects and optimizes substrates for reliable PVD adhesion, while finishing steps improve release, surface quality, and durability in production.
Quality Assurance
Certified quality systems ensure traceable, reproducible coatings; low‑temperature PVD/DLC with controlled setpoints and in‑line monitoring protects tool temper and ensures consistent films.
Technical Support
From lab testing and pilot trials to experienced sales and production teams, we provide guidance every step of the way.
Performance with Responsibility: Sustainable Coating Solutions
High performance and sustainability are no longer trade‑offs. With advanced PVD and DLC coatings, voestalpine HPM delivers surface solutions that combine exceptional wear protection with responsible manufacturing practices—helping customers reduce environmental impact while improving operational efficiency.
Our low‑temperature PVD processes are environmentally friendly and free from harmful chemicals, avoiding many of the effluents associated with conventional coating technologies. By extending tool and component life, these coatings reduce material consumption, lower scrap rates, and minimize unplanned downtime across demanding industrial environments.
Sustainability is embedded throughout the value chain:
- Longer service life means fewer replacements and less raw material usage
- Reduced scrap and rework support leaner, more resource‑efficient production
- Lower energy per produced part through improved productivity and cycle stability
- Cleaner coating processes aligned with modern environmental standards
Innovation at voestalpine HPM means designing coatings that perform under extreme loads while supporting customers’ sustainability goals. The result is measurable cost savings, improved reliability, and a responsible approach to surface engineering—without compromising performance.
