The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy sponsored the booths of nine innovative young companies, focusing on a variety of technologies, products and services, at the European Coatings Show (ECS) this year. PCI spoke with the company representatives on the spot, as well as with three further small start-up companies.
To increase focus on R&D, the founders of AKS Coatings decided to start their own company in 2014. In addition to its four founders, the company employs one other staff member.
