Limbacher Oberflächenveredelung GmbH (LOV) is a subcontractor for powder coating and industrial wet coating headquartered in Limbach-Oberfrohna. Established in 1999, the company employs around 65 staff at two locations in Saxony (Limbach-Oberfrohna and Mülsen St. Jakob) and is part of the OMEGA Group, a system supplier for complex metal assemblies with approximately 450 employees at four locations. A wide range of services is provided: Pretreatment (chemical with tri-cation zinc phosphate, chrome-free passivation, or mechanical), powder coating on four automatic and manual systems up to 10 m component length and 4 tons single weight, as well as industrial wet coating with solvent and water-based paints in fully climate-controlled cabins up to 6 m and 2 tons. We process steel, steel castings, galvanized steel, aluminum, aluminum castings, stainless steel, zinc castings, fiber-reinforced plastics, and wood. Additionally, we offer sealing, anti-corrosive coating, gluing, and assembly/disassembly work; KTL coatings are performed through fixed partners. Our customers include the defense & security, mechanical and vehicle engineering, railway technology, architecture & façade, climate & energy industry, agricultural technology, and electrical engineering sectors.
