Our expansion for your success!

Factory Greven-Reckenfeld                                        Factory Mühlau

Our company was established in the year 1990. Initially we operated as a contract blasting and paint spraying shop under the name of Schlick Chemnitz Engineering GmbH in Chemnitz, and furthermore we distributed blast machines and paint spraying installations for the former Schlick-Group. Encouraged by the straight running success, we decided to build an own production shop with an office building in Mühlau near Chemnitz. We could already move into the new building in 1993. As well established and professional corrosion protection company and provided with the latest paint spraying and blast installations we have offered stationary and mobile contract services to our customers within Germany since then. Once started as a small team the staff has in the meanwhile increased to approximately 80 employees. Also our field of activity has expanded constantly within the years: Apart from operating the corrosion protection shop in Mühlau, we have in the meantime established in the designing, engineering and production of airblast machines (Strahlanlagen) and painting installations (Lackieranlagen) as well as the often corresponding conveyor technique (Fördertechnik), particularly for large components.

In order to express our autonomy and dissociation from the Schlick Group which meanwhile had been sold to a US Group we renamed as SLF Oberflächentechnik GmbH in the year 2000.

Our shareholders, Mrs Elsbeth Schlick, Mr. Horst-Dieter Schlick, the commercial Managing Director Mr. Fritz Gaidies who operated for the Schlick Group for many years as well as Mr. Heinz-Georg Vollmer, the former Director of Sales of OLT emanate from the Schlick Group. The latter two persons are presently the Managing Directors of our company. Therefore the experiences of surface treatment technology gained within many years are made available to our company.

In the next step we expanded into the Western region of Germany: In 2003 we founded a subsidiary which initially was located in the Westphalian Emsdetten, where we moved into a new factory building together with our partner company AGTOS (Manufacturer of wheelblast machines). Since then we have mutually offered a comprising range of systems for the surface treatment - from pre-treatment systems up to coating systems.

The increasing space requirement resulting from the dynamic development and the associated increasing number of employees required the relocation into a new domicile. For this reason we moved into the former Schlick factory building in Greven-Reckenfeld at the beginning of 2006, only a few hundred meters away from the previous location in Emsdetten. This location is now our Head Office, because in the course of the relocation the registered office was transferred from Mühlau to Greven-Reckenfeld. Apart from the latest office premises there are also optimal production areas offering us the possibility for further expansions.
