Plasmatreat USA Inc. has been a supplier and contract manufacturing partner to the medical device industry for many years. Providing surface modification for wetting, improved cell attachment or general adhesion promotion has always been our core competence.
Recently, an existing client approached us with a new challenge. Treating over ½ million parts, that go into a Covid-19 test kit, as quickly as possible. We took on the challenge, added equipment to our lab and created a safe, well-separated work environment that allows our employees to process these parts safely within a short period of time. We are also treating materials used for PPE and parts for Covid-19 vaccine developments.
Additionally, we are working on sterilization units for PPE such as face masks and ventilator pipes using only air and electricity. While testing with the Red Cross in Germany is well under way and governmental approvals have been applied for, the first machines will be available in May. We are humbled by the trust our customers give us and thankful for the opportunity to serve our communities.

Plasmatreat has further expanded its international network and founded the subsidiary Plasmatreat Schweiz AG. The company has been managed by Klaus Kresser since August 1, 2020.
Plasma moves into the center for professional know-how transfer.
As the innovation leader in plasma-based surface treatment Plasmatreat has been sharing its know-how with the industry for 25 years. The newly founded „Plasmatreat Academy” now combines a wide array of educational programs under one roof and with one common goal: facilitating an in-depth dialog with customers, suppliers, science and research.
The treatment with Openair-Plasma® brings about a targeted, site-selective change in surface properties. In industrial applications, this improves adhesion and normally incompatible polymers can be reliably bonded. Dr. Alexander Knospe demonstrates the possibilities of plasma treatment in the plastics industry and provides insights into the function and advantages of this technology
