Company Historie
Our success story began in 1990 in Chemnitz as Schlick Chemnitz Engineering GmbH, a contract blasting and coating company. In 1993, we relocated to Mühlau, where we established our own production facility equipped with state-of-the-art technology, laying the foundation for our current expertise in corrosion protection.
Over the years, we have grown from a small team into a medium-sized company with over 130 employees. Today, our service portfolio includes not only corrosion protection but also the development, design, and manufacturing of compressed air blasting systems, painting lines, and conveyor technology—especially for large-volume workpieces.
