Unitedcoatings Group, the owner of plasma spray coating and additive manufacturing service provider Eurocoating, has announced the launch of its Lincotek Additive brand.
The re-brand is part of a wider initiative by the company which will also see a number of its divisions continue to operate under the Lincotek Surface Solutions, Lincotek Medical and Lincotek Equipment brands, as well as the additive division.
Lincotek Additive will encompass research, design, engineering, production and assembly and is built off the back of 15 years of experience in additive manufacturing. It will serve to assist customers in applying 3D printing to tackle serial production runs and promises low scrap rates. Through Eurocoating, the company already has a reputation in the medical space, leveraging additive manufacturing to produce orthopaedic, dental, spine and trauma applications and also last year acquired Nanosurfaces from CoorsTek Medical. The company is a known user of metal powder bed fusion and electron beam melting processes and believes the creation of Lincotek Additive will help companies establish reliable and sophisticated supply chains.
“The group’s success under its different brands has been impressive and now it’s time to present ourselves under one coherent umbrella while leveraging the goodwill and technology depth of our current business,” commented Winfried Schaller, CEO of Unitedcoatings Group. “The group has become a real global player – a much larger and unique company, strongly rooted in our core values and service concept. The rebranding process is part of our internationalisation strategy which, in line with our growth plans, prepares the group for future challenges and guarantees continuity to our partners and the wider market in the long run.”
