Our work starts where others stop.

Engineering office for coatings, corrosion protection & technical laboratory

Coating systems, corrosion protection systems and precise laboratory testing are the core business of IBEKOR GmbH. Based in Munich, our engineering office has been working for around fifteen years as a listed supplier to the German and international Automotive and Manufacturing industry – from OEMs and Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers to specialised production facilities.

In automotive engineering – and many other industrial applications – corrosion protection is usually based on a coordinated coating system. Our performance is driven by a deep understanding of the interaction between (a) material, (b) cleaning and pre-treatment, (c) inorganic and organic coatings, (d) post-treatment and (e) laboratory verification. This system know-how is what we contribute to your projects and ensure lasting durability for your industrial hardware.

Our focus for OEMs & suppliers

IBEKOR combines engineering services in corrosion protection with an in-house technical laboratory. For you as an OEM, Tier-1/Tier-2 supplier or coating shop this means: one partner for system design, laboratory testing and technical evaluation.

Corrosion protection systems

Development and evaluation of corrosion protection concepts for automotive applications – from base material via pre-treatment to coating and post-treatment.

Details on corrosion protection

Technical laboratory

Corrosion testing, environmental simulation and destructive testing of adhesive joints – according to DIN EN ISO standards and OEM specifications, including evaluation and documentation.

All lab services

Approach & offer

A clear structure from first contact via a transparent proposal through to implementation and series support – aligned with your organisation and processes.

How we work with you
Aluminium design vehicle with high-quality coating
Lightweight aluminium body in automotive engineering – high demands on corrosion protection and appearance.
Series parts with zinc flake coating
Sample series parts with zinc flake coating: coating systems and lab testing from one source.
CFRP design vehicle with hybrid components
CFRP and hybrid components – typical applications for our concepts against galvanic and crevice corrosion.

Component life cycle as a system

Increasing quality requirements put functional and optical surfaces more strongly into focus. We therefore look at components over their entire life cycle – from design and material selection to field performance.

For development, quality and production teams this means: IBEKOR supports you from system design via verification in the technical laboratory through to production support – with a consistent focus on corrosion protection and surface technology.

15+ years for OEMs & suppliers
200+ completed customer projects
100% focus on corrosion & surfaces
