Wilhelmshaven. Until now, acs Coating Systems GmbH had mainly made a name for itself as a service provider for leading companies in the automotive and kitchenware industries in southern Germany.

Now, says managing director Dr. Christoph Stecher, the company has reached a point that should decisively advance the further development of his mid-sized business in the north of the city. After manufacturing its own product lines, it's time to take off. Along the way to success, there was a lot of trial and error. By now, the products and manufacturing process have matured. In March, the first 15,000 quality frying pans, entirely made on site, were produced.

A unique selling point here is the special coating developed by Stecher, which offers a number of advantages over conventional Teflon coatings.

"Researching and developing a good product - that's one thing. Producing it, convincing customers, and ultimately selling the product - that's the next."
