About Ebbinghaus Verbund
Ebbinghaus Verbund is a family-owned company in its fifth generation with roots dating back to 1923, coating metallic components for industrial series applications. The company offers cathodic immersion (KTL), powder coating, wet coating, duplex, and PVC coating, as well as zinc thermodiffusion coating. Pre- and post-treatment steps such as blasting, stripping, partial cleaning, and phosphating complete the process chain. The group coordinates the operations of OFTEC Oberflächentechnik in Hagenbach and Styria Coating in Graz across its locations, operates a technical center in Solingen, and provides development partnerships, coating plant planning, plant-in-plant operator models, logistics, and packaging. Customers primarily come from the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, agricultural machinery, electrical engineering, construction, and furniture industries. The company coats steel, stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized materials, cast iron, copper, brass, and zinc die-cast in subcontracted manufacturing, including for the Daimler Truck AG commercial vehicle plant in Wörth.
