Sulzer Metco to Showcase Performance-Boosting Coatings Technologies at IMIS and PRI

Sulzer Metco surface solutions enable racing teams and automotive companies to increase the durability of their parts and components and boost the overall performance of their engines.

Sulzer Metco thin film coatings combine very low frictional resistance and extreme hardness, reducing wear and friction in a wide range of racing, automotive and industrial applications.

Meanwhile, Sulzer Metco’s SUMEBore division provides coatings for cylinder bores to improve efficiency and overall performance. The company has applied coatings to various engine applications, including Formula 1 racing cars, LeMans, Superbike and MotoGP racing team engines, aircraft engine blocks, and limited-production supercars like the Bugatti Veyron.

IMIS 2010 takes place in Indianapolis, the heartland of racing, and will be attended by race teams, dealers / distributors and industry professionals. The event is being staged at the Indiana Convention Center, December 1 – 3, 2010.

More than 1,100 companies will be exhibiting the latest advances in racing products and race engineering at PRI 2010. The show attracts delegates from more than 67 countries. The event is being staged in Orlando, Florida, and takes place December 9 -11, 2010.

Our combined portfolios hold a vast range of experience and application possibilities, so we are confident we can tailor a solution for any racing, automotive or industrial application.
