Plasmatreat, a leading developer and manufacturer of atmospheric plasma systems for surface pretreatment, is expanding into Austria by founding Plasmatreat Austria. From Steyr, customers in the field of surface pretreatment will now receive even more personal and individual support. The new subsidiary will be managed by Helmut Beinhakl, graduate engineer who brings with him a wealth of experience from the automotive, packaging and plastics industries.

With the new location in Steyr, Plasmatreat, headquartered in Steinhagen, Germany, is further expanding its global sales and service network. "The steadily increasing demand and the growing number of our customers in Austria have prompted us to establish a subsidiary there as well," Lukas Buske, Managing Director of Plasmatreat explained.

Since the beginning of January, Helmut Beinhakl has been responsible for the support of existing customers and the acquisition of new customers in the Austrian market and is now also Managing Director of Plasmatreat Austria. As a sales and key account manager as well as a production and sales manager, Beinhakl has many years of experience and knowledge in the automotive, packaging and plastics industries. His expertise and passion for innovative products and processes are profitable factors for the success of Plasmatreat in Austria. "The environmentally friendly technology and the company's vision to shape the future and, for example, to replace primers and wet chemical pre-treatment methods in manufacturing processes, have made a lasting impression on me and encouraged me to become part of this team," Helmut Beinhakl commented explaining his motivation for his role as the new Managing Director of Plasmatreat Austria.
