Customer testimonials

Cédric Lancieux

Technical Director, Euroteknika 

"We needed to call on a company skilled in vacuum coating to ensure lasting quality for our products. It was thequality aspect that drew me back to them. We make products that stay in patients' mouths; quality is paramount in our business, and it's an aspect that Thermi-Platin more than lived up to. What Euroteknika needs is to differentiate itself in the market, and the coating produced by Thermi-Platin is a differentiator. Today, they are even proactive and solution-oriented. They come to us with real answers."

Claude Madelmont

Borg Warner Supplier Selection Manager

"We specialize in what's known as the powertrain; that's everything to do with the engine and transmission. These parts have electromagnetic and wear-resistance characteristics. This is a very important point. The THERMILYON Group specializes in controlled atmosphere nitrocarburizing. This involves heat-treating the part to make it harder and more resistant to wear. This is a state-of-the-art treatment. Trempelec processes 15,000 to 25,000 partsat a time".

Jérôme Lefebvre

Purchasing manager at ERMO-tech

"We specialize in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, medical and fine wall sectors, as well as in high-precision, high-speed closures. Thermi-Platin treats certain parts of our molds to extend their service life. All contact, friction and sliding between parts need to be hardened with DLC, a surface coating. Today, we have an average lead time of 3 days with Thermi-Platin. Thermi-Platin has been able to offer relevant products and prove its responsiveness to the needs of the ERMO group. They also provide us with a partner and technical support in our search for solutions.
