Annual Bolt Maker Conference

We hosted, you came, and together we made our Bolt Maker Conference 2026 a stimulating network platform !

On October 1, the Annual Bolt Maker Conference organized by NOF Metal Coatings Europe was held in Esslingen am Neckar near Stuttgart, under the theme:

“A JOURNEY FROM WIRE TO ASSEMBLY – THE LIFE OF A SCREW”.

This strategic gathering brought together more than 40 participants, including technical experts, industry leaders, GEOMET® licensees, parts manufacturers, OEMs…

The spotlight was on steel optimization, new surface treatment technologies, particularly PFAS-free and low-temperature curing solutions, which pave the way for a more sustainable future for the zinc flake coating industry.

A big thank you to all speakers and participants for their commitment and insightful contributions to the ongoing evolution of water-based zinc flake GEOMET® technology.
