Selective and inline surface treatment with plasma technology.

About us

Plasmatreat is the international leader in the development and manufacture of atmospheric pressure plasma systems for the pretreatment of substrate surfaces. Whether plastic, metal, glass or paper - the industrial use of plasma technology modifies the properties of the surface in favor of the process requirements. Subsequent processes include bonding, painting, printing or gasketing. Openair-Plasma® technology is used in automated and continuous manufacturing processes in almost every industrial sector. Examples include the automotive, electronics, transportation, packaging, consumer goods and textile industry, but the technology, cost and environmental advantages of the plasma technology are used in medical technology and in the renewable energy sector as well. The Plasmatreat Group has technology centers in Germany, USA, Canada, China, and Japan. With its worldwide sales and service network, the company is represented in more than 30 countries by subsidiaries and sales partners.

  • 🎧🎤Plasmatreat goes Podcast: Gain exciting insights into the future of industrial inkjet printing! 🤩 Thank you, Marcus Timson from FuturePrint, for speaking with our colleague Bas Buser. 👍 Our Openair-Plasma® technology once again highlights the importance of reliable #surfaceactivation for adhesion, quality, and consistent processes in industrial #printing applications, including #packaging, #electronics, and #automotive. We are thrilled to help drive the future of digital printing with plasma technology in an eco-friendly way. 😃✅ #Plasmatreat #OpenairPlasma #IndustrialPrint #Inkjet #SurfaceTreatment

    View profile for Marcus Timson

    Co-Founder & Director at FuturePrint

    Here is a revealing FuturePrint Podcast with another innovative exhibiting company showing a FuturePrint Industrial Print in Munich! In this episode, we talk with with Bas Buser from Plasmatreat, one of the most respected voices in plasma surface treatment and global printing applications, to explore why plasma has become a critical enabler for industrial inkjet. Bas explains the remarkable story behind Plasmatreat, founded over 30 years ago when Christian Buske pioneered Openair-Plasma, allowing plasma activation outside of vacuum chambers and directly inline with production systems. Today Plasmatreat operates worldwide, supporting automotive, electronics, medical, packaging, and now fast-growing areas of industrial print. Listeners will discover why plasma treatment is now essential for UV and inkjet adhesion: increasing surface energy, cleaning contamination, introducing chemical functionality, and enabling inks to bond to plastics, metals, glass, and recycled materials. Bas shares real-world examples from automotive (50–70 plasma applications per vehicle), packaging (printing QR codes on varnished surfaces), electronics (conductive inks), and medical devices. https://lnkd.in/erbkgKZ3
