GOOD REASONS FOR SOFTAL
SOFTAL Corona & Plasma GmbH was founded in the 1950s, during the nascent stages of the industrial application of corona technology. Owing to its manifold advantages, corona technology has become indispensable in numerous industry sectors and continues to set standards today. As an early pioneer, SOFTAL had a unique opportunity to witness the progression of this captivating technology and actively contribute to its development.
While there’s a marked difference between the initial products and today’s systems, one thing has remained consistent: The SOFTAL promise of “Adhesion guaranteed.” This commitment has been a constant in the industry for over 60 years. Our slogan clearly defines the objective of our work: achieving the specified adhesion on our customers’ materials. To meet this standard of adhesion, a corona system is meticulously designed and custom-made, taking into account the customer’s budget, process, and material requirements.
