Who we are
Protec Surface Technologies designs and manufactures PVD and PECVD coating systems for both decorative and technical applications.
Thanks to extensive experience, Protec provides a complete solution from pre-treatment, prior to coating, through to the industrial process. It also supports customers with training, on-site support, customized R&D projects, technology upgrades, quality control and characterisation.
After 25 years of continuous growth and experience gained in surface finishing, Protec continuously works to improve research and development of high quality production techniques.
In 1996, Protec Surface Technologies was founded, an Italian company supplying PVD and PECVD coating systems and surface treatments; a small size company having a small customer base that sought to meet all technical and processing requirements.
Two companies co-existed under one name - Protec Surface Technologies. A few years later, in 1998, thanks to a constant increase in demand, the two became Protec Surface Technologies, manufacturing PVD and PECVD coating systems, and Protim, a coating centre.
Since 1998, Protec Surface Technologies has been dedicated to the design and manufacture of machinery for high-vacuum deposition of thin film coatings by metal evaporation (Physical Vapour Deposition or PVD) and by plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition (PECVD) based on gaseous or vapor-phase chemical precursors.
Protec specializes in the design, assembly and sale of PVD and PECVD equipment for the deposition of nanotechnology thin films for both decorative and functional applications, also offering customized processes and solutions.
In 2019, both companies merged into P&P Holding, a global center of excellence in PVD and PECVD coatings. The majority shareholder is a Club Deal made up of leading entrepreneurs who want to further grow the companies: Protec as a producer of PVD systems and Protim as a coating center for third parties, focusing on the innovative spirit of both, guarantee very high quality standards and represent the reality of Made in Italy at world level.
