Coating specialist Oerlikon Balzers has been awarded a certificate by Bosch for supplying faultless products. Bosch uses surface coatings from Balzers on its lorry pistons.


Oerlikon Balzers has been awarded the Zero Faults Certificate from Bosch for its “component coatings of the highest quality in 2018”, as Oerlikon Balzers reported in a press release. Specifically, Oerlikon Balzers Brazil has been recognized as a quality supplier of component coatings for the automotive industry. Bosch applies Oerlikon Balzers’ coatings on pistons that are used in diesel injection pumps for lorry engines. This coating reduces wear between the pistons and pump body, which improves the service life of the part and reliability of the product.

“We are delighted to be recognized by Bosch as a top supplier through this Zero Faults Certificate,” said Luciano M. Silva, Oerlikon Balzers Director of Sales & Operations in Brazil and Argentina. “Supplying the best products to our customers while ensuring the safety of our employees and environmental protection are extremely important to us. This certificate is a testament to our unwavering passion for surface solutions of the highest quality.”
