ELB Eloxalwerk Ludwigsburg What can we do for you? Innovative Surfaces for products and product developments 1
We offer more... What can we do for you? Aluminium is the most frequent metal on earth. As a secondary raw material this light alloy can be rececycled very efficiently. Its significance as a construction material will become even more important in the future as it already is today. Our brand CERANOD made by ELB stands for decorative high-end surfaces as well as for extremely durable and reliable protection for components in mechanical engineering, aerospace and off-shore technologies and many other trend-setting branches. Micro-crosslinked CERANOD -nanostructure surfaces rank among the five hardest materials in the world. They are able to withstand strains more than 100.000 times as high as conventionally anodized aluminium. Fitted with CERANOD -surface technology aluminium surfaces can be exactly adapted to the requirements of almost any application and hence give you decisive advantages in the market. ELB produces on highest technical level. Eco-friendly, fully automated processes lead to 100% quality and reproducibility.
