#You can do great Business
but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Your processes might be entangled...
... but we can help you straighten them
Our Vision
We believe in great technologies and see surfaces as the direct path to success – interfaces are what define the challenge, the engineering task, the opportunity. Our vision is to identify the good, the bad and the ugly and deliver an authentic and long term solution with our partners. From surface engineering, via reporting, business and marketing – only a holistic approach will drive technology into success.
Our Mission
What we do
we are here for you
We provide consultancy services in the fields of surface engineering, process development and related manufacturing engineering challenges – We assist in bringing your R&D vision to life, streamlining your development and production processes and enable you to solve your problems through a wide network of experts to deliver the solution you need.
The Surfineers will partner with your staff, to define your project scope and plan, develop comprehensive process optimisations, identify problems and opportunities, and deliver long-term, sustainable improvements.
We’re established in three core consultancy areas: business, technology and network – each is perfectly completed by the other. This means we are ready for your challenge, and we’ll be there no matter what.
“Innovation” used to mean the difference between dictating trends in your sector or following the trail of your competition’s success, but today the term refers to a fundamental condition of existence for businesses in the volatile and demanding Digital Age.
