IHI Group
Hauzer and IHI Bernex, an independent supplier under the house of Hauzer, are part of the Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering business unit of the IHI group. The business unit provides equipment and services.
On the surface engineering equipment side, IHI Hauzer Techno Coating and IHI Bernex together offer a complete solutions portfolio for equipment manufacturers and coating service providers, with coating systems for PVD, PACVD, CVD, CVA and CVI. IHI Ionbond provides these coating technologies as a service. Together, Bernex, Hauzer and Ionbond can get our customers started with their preferred coating quickly: Ionbond can provide coating services while the new in-house machine is built at Hauzer or Bernex. Hauzer and Bernex customers can also easily work with Ionbond to temporarily boost capacity, since Ionbond has the requisite experience with Hauzer and Bernex machines.
The IHI Group business unit also includes IHI Machinery and Furnace Company and IHI VTN, with the same kind of synergy as Hauzer/Bernex/Ionbond. The Machinery and Furnace Company builds heat treatment equipment and VTN offers heat treatment services.
