Snow White’s apple turns silver and edible: this is the last project of Kolzer and Ornella Piluso - artist and designer, Dr. Angela Bassoli of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Milan and silversmith company Silvan Srl.

Also for sputtering coatings is beginning the season of winter sports. Fortex srl, a young reality in Montebelluna (TV) North Italy, protagonist of the Festival of Science, Nanotechnologies field, owns 2 DGK36” sputtering plants, providing PVD treatments to a wide range of customers.

Innovation to compete! It has been proved that companies which invest in innovative technologies are constantly growing. The result comes from an European study that has monitored companies of the old continent for the last 10 years: those which have invested in new technologies, have increased their turnover (an average of 10/15% per year).

The design of the new futuristic V7 racer features the chromed tank with sputtering technology. The final aesthetic result of great value, confirms that the sputtering clean application of chrome meets aesthetic and extreme requirements as that of the motorcycle industry.

A new dress for materials
Sputtering applied to various materials ennobles Silvan’s creations, a silverware company from Veneto - Italy, founded in 1962 ( www.silvan.it ). Few months after installing a new conception sputtering plant in order to deposit precious metals, the company is witnessing a revolution in a field as closely linked to tradition as silverware is.

Kolzer introduces new functional coatings achievable with the newest sputtering Kolzer machines. The plants, which are currently provided with an already rich databases of available coatings, can now be equipped on request with the following processes: PVD anti-reflex, PVD transparent hydrophobic and nonsticking, PVD solar thermal absorber_low emission, PVD transparent conductive ITO, PVD transparent scratchproof , PVD UV filter, PVD IR filter
