Backer Heatrod Ltd Prepares for Surface Technology GERMANY 5-7 May, Stuttgart

Backer Heatrod Ltd is looking forward to attending this year’s event and engaging with the innovators shaping the future of industrial surface engineering.

As part of the NIBE Element Group – the world’s largest heating-element manufacturer – Backer Heatrod supports a wide range of industrial processes where precision heating, reliability, and efficiency are essential. Surface Technology GERMANY provides an ideal platform to explore how emerging technologies and new process requirements are influencing the next generation of heating solutions.

Why This Event Matters to Backer Heatrod

Surface Technology GERMANY brings together exhibitors across electroplating, coating, cleaning, pre-treatment, thermal spraying, plasma technologies, and process control.

For Backer Heatrod, this breadth is invaluable – many of these processes rely on controlled, high-performance heating systems to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance.

A Focus on Efficiency and Sustainability

The industry continues to face rising energy costs, tightening environmental regulations, and increasing expectations around sustainability.

We’re particularly interested in how surface-treatment specialists are approaching:

• Energy-efficient process heating
• PFAS-free and environmentally responsible coating technologies
• Smarter process control and digitalisation
• Waste-heat recovery and system optimisation

These themes align closely with our own commitment to delivering efficient, durable heating solutions for industrial applications.

Showcasing the Braude Product Range

This year, Backer Heatrod is also proud to be showcasing our full range of Braude products, designed specifically for corrosive and demanding chemical-processing environments – a perfect fit for many of the applications represented at Surface Technology GERMANY.

The Braude range includes:

• Thermoplastic-sheathed electric heaters for aggressive chemical tanks
• Corrosion-resistant heat exchangers
• Temperature control systems engineered for long-term reliability
• Custom heating solutions for electroplating, anodising, pickling, and other surface-treatment processes

These products are built to withstand the harshest operating conditions while delivering stable, efficient heating, making them ideal for the chemical and surface-finishing industries attending the event.

Surface Technology GERMANY provides the perfect platform to demonstrate how Braude solutions can help customers improve process reliability, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life in environments where traditional metal-sheathed heaters simply can’t survive.

Connecting with Partners across Europe

Surface Technology GERMANY attracts professionals from machinery, mobility, aerospace, medical technology, electronic, and general manufacturing.

For Backer Heatrod, it’s an opportunity to:

• Strengthen relationships with existing partners
• Explore new collaborations
• Understand evolving customer requirements
• Identify opportunities to support emerging applications

Stuttgart: A hub for Industrial Innovation

Held at Messe Stuttgart – in one of Europe’s strongest industrial regions – the event provides an ideal setting for meaningful technical discissions and cross-sector collaboration.

Looking Ahead

We’re excited to attend Surface Technology GERMANY and showcase the capabilities of our Braude product range alongside the wider Backer Heatrod offering.

Events like this help us stay aligned with industry needs and continue developing heating solutions that support efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance.

If you’ll be in Stuttgart from 5-7 May, we’d be happy to connect.
