AGC Plasma Technology Solutions (commonly known as AGC Plasma) is a business unit within AGC Glass Europe, the European branch of the international glass manufacturer AGC Inc., the largest glass company in the world and one of the core Mitsubishi companies. AGC Plasma specializes in the supply of vacuum coating equipment, leveraging core technologies such as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD).
The business unit is based in Lauenförde, Germany, where it operates a manufacturing facility and demonstration center. Additionally, research and development activities for coating technologies are conducted at the AGC Technovation Centre[1] in Gosselies, Belgium and the AGC Sacramento Research Facility in Sacramento, California. AGC Plasma serves a global market, offering engineering, manufacturing, and installation services for vacuum coating equipment.
History
[edit]AGC Plasma was established following the 2012 merger[2] of Interpane Glas Industrie AG, a German manufacturer of insulated glass, and AGC Glass Europe. The merger combined expertise in thin-film coating technology, particularly for solar control and low-emissivity glazing, enabling the business unit to expand into vacuum coating equipment engineering and production.
Field of Activities
[edit]- Optical Coatings - Advanced multi-layer optical coating technology and equipment for mass production of low-emissivity, solar control, and anti-reflective glass applications.
- Astronomical Mirror Coatings - Development of large area mirror coating technologies for major optical telescopes,[3] such as the Extremely Large Telescope located in the Chilean Atacama Desert.
- Solid-State Battery Manufacturing - Upscaling vacuum coating processes for solid-state batteries, including PECVD silicon anode manufacturing[4] with silane gas and lithium evaporation for lithium metal anode production.
- Technical Textiles - Providing metallic coating technologies for applications such as multi-spectral camouflage and fluorine-free liquid repellant treatments for filtration media and outdoor clothing.
Facilities
[edit]AGC Interpane Facility: Primary manufacturing headquarters in Lauenförde, Germany, housing a demonstration center for vacuum coating equipment.
AGC Technovation Centre: R&D headquarters in Gosselies, Belgium for activities focused on thin-film coating development.
AGC Sacramento Research Facility: R&D facility in Sacramento, California supporting coating development activities for the North American market.
