At the third Enquete award ceremony in Vienna, in November 2008, Plasmait GmbH was presented with the innovation award for a research project conducted in collaboration with the institute Zentrum für Elektronenmikroskopie Graz (ZFE). The project investigated plasma coating on ceramic materials with the purpose of process optimisation in industrial plasma heat and surface treatment applications. This is Plasmait’s second innovation award in two years. In September 2007 Plasmait won the Fast Forward Innovation Award, awarded by the Styrian Development Agency (SFG), for its environmentally friendly heat and surface treatment process for endless non-ferrous materials.
