Plant Operator: Enamelling Line with Technical Coordination

V-ZUG Oberflächentechnik ###

Surface technology at V-ZUG is where metal becomes quality - visible, durable and at the highest level. Our fully integrated enamelling line at the headquarters in Zug is among the most complex production plants in the company. A conveyor chain of over 1'000 meters connects several plant areas - from the furnace room welding plant and pretreatment via dryers, three powder lines, the firing oven to the Topclean coating and the Topclean oven.

What happens here shapes what our customers see and touch. As a Swiss premium manufacturer, we tolerate no compromises in quality and surface - and our team in Oberflächentechnik lives this claim daily: with technical depth, high personal responsibility and the will not just to produce, but to actively further develop the plant and its processes.
