APEMCO was established by Claude Becker, a French researcher and entrepreneur, with support from three Flemish Business Angels. Regis Heyberger is responsible for the day-to-day management. Together, they are responsible for the industrial implementation of the VITO technology and related services.
In collaboration with VITO’s long-standing partner AFS/Softal, APEMCO will build and support machinery to make the technology ready for true industrial implementation.
Atmospheric plasma technology is used to apply functional coatings in a durable way. Numerous applications have already been identified in the plastics and textiles industries, ranging from water and dirt-repelling surfaces to improved adhesion of virtually incompatible materials.
