Technology leaders since 1994
We developed Openair® plasma technology in 1994 and installed the first surface treatment system for polypropylene headlight housings in 1995. Two years later we installed the first double rotational plasma jet for the labeling of polyethylene bottles. Since then we have developed advanced technologies that have been employed in over 1300 installations worldwide.

We have invested considerable resources in developing atmospheric plasma technologies and have duly patented the processes and designs. We have over 50 patents,
including worldwide patents: DE19532412, DE29624481, EP0761415, US5,837,958, DE29919142, WO01/32949, EP1230 414, EP1335641, JP2003-514114, US6,800,336.

We have over 50 worldwide registered patents, including several in the United States. Any patent violation will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.

Openair® plasma technology is patented
If you are a competitor we would urge you to check the patents covering atmospheric plasma technologies and call us for licensing opportunities. If you are a customer who is considering buying an atmospheric plasma system from a competitor we similarly urge you to check the patents covering the technology. We have invested considerable resources in developing and refining this technology and will defend the patents to the full extent of the law.

Key patents covering atmospheric plasma technology are:
