The Network

INPLAS is an association of industry and research with the aim of promoting the application and further development of industrial plasma surface technology. Through networking, the importance of plasma technology in the various industries becomes visible and potentials for future technologies, such as hydrogen economy, storage systems, circular economy, and hygiene/disinfection can be concretely demonstrated.

Fields of Application:

  • Automotive
  • Aerospace
  • Information Technology and Electronics
  • Environmental and Energy Technology
  • Medical and Biotechnology
  • Mechanical Engineering, Tools
  • Optics and Glass

Technology-oriented work takes place in working groups. The competence network INPLAS has been accredited as a network by the Federal Ministry of Economics BMWi since 2005. Since 2012, INPLAS has been a member of the "go-cluster" initiative.
