The DFO Technical Committee onPlastic Coatings meets two to three times a year at a member company's premises – and on October 29, 2025, we had the pleasure of hosting this important meeting at our Innotech Campus in Mühlhausen.
The chairman of the technical committee, Tobias Eid, welcomed numerous representatives from DFO member companies to the hybrid event. The mix of in-person and online participation went smoothly thanks to the excellent moderation by Mr. Timmermann.
High-level technical exchange
In addition to exciting technical presentations, there was a special focus on the world of adhesives and adhesive processing—a topic that is usually less of a focus in the technical committee. As hosts, we had the opportunity to share our expertise in the field of adhesives, application techniques, and practical process steps with the participants.
A look behind the scenes at Innotech
Participants on site also had the opportunity to get to know Innotech better. We presented our achievements, services, and developments and gave guests a tour of our new premises with training campus and modern logistics center. We were delighted to be able to show what Innotech stands for today and where we are heading in the future.
We look forward to the next meeting!
We look forward to future meetings and continued cooperation within the strong network of the German Research Association for Surface Treatment (DFO).
