Protec Finishing

Everyone is talking about it. Everybody tries to realize it. We guarantee and realize them in one of the Almar factories. PROTEC FINISHING is a surface treatment that coats the surface in a high vacuum environment with metal compounds that are combined on a molecular basis with various gases. The definition Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is very well known in the technical field. In recent years, the demand for PVD products in the decorative sector has increased, especially for outdoor applications. Almar has been working in this direction for many years and today is proud to have achieved results that have been recognized by the market and have led to the creation of a specific plant.
