Coatema highlights at LOPEC 2014

Coatema Highlights

World’s biggest event for large-area, organic and printed electronics

The International event and congress for printed electronics, short LOPEC, has taken place in Munich last week for the 6th time.

This year Coatema presented a complete new product line for laboratory coating and printing: the “Test Solution”. These small machineries were deeply interesting for most visitors and were the No. 1 attraction at the booth. Especially the Roll-to-Roll machinery attracted attention from lots of visitors.

Coatema also announced a new cooperation with Lunovu company, a leading start-up for roll-to-roll Laser applications. Coatema and Lunovu have partnered to develop, produce and distribute Laser Patterning for roll-to-roll systems.

Coatema had the honor to welcome two international delegations from Taiwan and Singapore, presenting the new machinery, show them around and arranged a special welcome meeting in cooperation with Messe München.

As the highlight of the LOPEC the Demonstration Line got a lot of media interest and Coatema featured prominently by producing the demonstrator on the Smartcoater. Visitors could watch the different processes and materials of the live production of a 9 Volt battery tester. Three functional layers were coated on paper by using a Rotary Screen System, Engraved roller printing and slot die. Once power is flowing through the tester the second layer will heat up the thermochrome layer and with a chemical reaction a text will become visible so that you can proof if the battery is full or low. Lots of visitors took the chance to take a free sample of the tester.

An increased number of visitors at the Coatema booth showed the importance of the LOPEC and the success story of the LOPEC Live Manufacturing Area underlines this.

The LOPEC 2014 was a great success for Coatema. Especially the new product line “Test Solution” had great attendance. We had a permanent high media interest and lots of visitors were interested in our new technologies. At our booth we had a qualified visitor traffic with international guests and with real projects over the period of the two days.
