Coatings for motorsport

The wide range of possible applications for our coating systems can also be seen in motorsport, for example. We are proud to be able to support Norick Tschauder and his Yamaha R6 in his success with motorcycle components coated by us.
Thanks to the coated components, the performance of his motorcycle is always at the highest level. He is the current SSP600 Champion of 2023 and 2024 of the IBPM (International Bike Promotion Championship).

We are keeping our fingers crossed for his future racing seasons!
