Our Story

Background

The SurfTec team is working around the clock to lead the technology of the future.

Our research and expertise, which includes surface engineering, materials science, tribology, and nanomechanics, give us a significant advantage for continuous innovation.

SurfTec serves as a groundbreaking transition point from outdated lubrication practices to state-of-the-art nano-coatings. Our coating eliminates premature failure in mechanical systems, positively impacting maintenance costs.

We envision SurfTec’s coating technology selling globally as it becomes the standard lubricant used in bearings for many applications.
