PTC Innovation AB

Our business idea....is that we will bridge the gap between academia/research and industry by applying research results in the development of new and existing applications. We do this by developing new manufacturing methods, develop new sensor technologies and new materials for demanding applications. Examples are coatings to achieve special properties such as high abrasion resistance, high corrosion resistance and increase or decrease thermal or electrical insulation.

Founder of the company is Per Nylen, professor at University West and Director of the research team Production Technology West (PTW) who works at the Production Technology Centre (PTC) in Trollhättan. The groupworks with high end research  in thermal spraying, cutting and welding, as well as on flexible automation of these processes.

Responsible for process and application development and design, manufacturing and production Stefan Björklund, who also works as a research and development engineer of the research team Production Technology West (PTW)  at the Production Technology Centre (PTC) in Trollhättan.


Our goal is to spread knowledge and bring research to a place where it actually creates development and economic growth in business and in the community.
