Generating innovations and ideas

HISTORY

The Promosurf working group was originally formed by members of the French-speaking VOM. Its focus was to generate ideas and activities for our association in Wallonia. Since 2023, the group  also focusses on Flanders to promote interregional cooperation and strengthen collective impact.

OBJECTIVE

Promosurf actively works to provide relevant and rewarding events for VOM members and all interested parties.

The main aim is to share knowledge and exchange ideas on important topics such as innovations, process improvements and environmentally relevant topics without focusing on one specific surface treatment. The activities always focus on progress and sustainable development for our industry.

NEWS

The first study day of 2024 organised by Promosurf was a great success. Held at Safran Aero Boosters on 25 January, the day focused on industrial water management. The speakers provided valuable insights and concrete case studies on this crucial subject for our industries.

Following this enriching day, Promosurf members are preparing their second study day of the year. This is scheduled for the second half of the year and will be the result of a collaboration with the A3TS (Association de traitement thermique et de traitement de surface en France). The day will focus on surface treatment in the aerospace sector.
