The family business iepco ag was founded in 1970 and is now managed by the second and third generation. Innovation is not just a buzzword for the employees, but is lived every day. More than 50 years ago, iepco members were already immersed in microblasting technology as pioneers. This is a dry fine blasting process with defined blasting media (depending on grain size, grain hardness and grain geometry) to influence and positively change the micro-topography of surfaces of any type and consistency.

iepco works in the very fine range, namely in the thousandth of a millimeter – «With us, everything is measured in μ». The microblasting technology is used for the preparation of the adhesion surface, structuring, cleaning, uniforming, edge rounding, deburring and subsequent compaction of the surface. The treatment offers advantages such as optimal adhesion properties for subsequent coating processes, surfaces for easy and clean demoulding, high reproducibility as well as time and cost savings in terms of processes. Besides the microblasting process, other blasting processes such as pressure blasting, soft blasting and polish blasting have been added to the scope, in which the experts at iepco are specialized.

Production of microblasting equipment

Our core competence is the special surface processing of metallic base materials. For this we produce and trade with microblasting, softblasting, polishblasting and mass finishing systems. Mechanical engineering is the main mission of iepco. At the headquarters in Leuggern, microblasting systems are manufactured for international and national customers. Our own product lines MICROPEEN®, PEENMATIC® and PolishPeen® are manufactured entirely in Switzerland and are sold all over the world together with our finishing trade products.

The general global trend towards the automation of industrial processes leaves its marks in the area of ​​microblasting technology as well. For these individual requirements, automated microblasting systems, such as the PEENMATIC 950 ZIDA-Sat with robot loading, are precisely adapted to customer needs. Several thousand iepco blasting and polishing systems are in use in Europe, the Far East and America. The customers are mainly active in mold and tool construction, in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, in drive technology and in motor construction as well as in younger sectors such as 3D plastics and metal industry.
