The episode begins with a short travelogue. Robert Piterek talks about what it was like in Switzerland and Milan. The central theme of this episode is energy policy and the EU's ban on chemicals. If this is implemented, up to 1500 electroplating plants across Europe could face closure!
Another trip took Robert to THOMA Metallveredelung in Heimertingen. Here he took a look at the new EHLA process, among other things. Here, chrome layers are applied to steel by laser.
We also talked about the metallization of textiles, the digitalization of companies, surface modifications of titanium and many other exciting topics.
