Oerlikon Balzers, ITP Aero Secure Agreement for PVD Coating on Aero Engine Components

Oerlikon Balzers, a brand in the realm of surface solutions, recently secured a decade-long agreement with ITP Aero involving the application of Oerlikon's BALORA TECH PRO. This high-temperature wear-resistant coating will be implemented on the components of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW800 turbofan engine, which propels the latest Gulfstream G500/G600 and Dassault Falcon 6X business jets. This collaboration will help ITP Aero achieve consistent results within a shorter time span.

“It’s a pleasure for us to sign this long-term contract with Oerlikon Balzers,” said Pedro Juarez, Machined Components Commodity Manager for ITP Aero: “We can count on their high level of industrialization, know-how and competence as a leading provider of thin-film PVD coatings and systems. I am positive this agreement will support our ambitious growth plans at our Mexico site and opens possibilities for further collaboration with Oerlikon, who has already been a valued strategic partner a long time.”
