Development and manufacturing

IB-FT was founded in 2004, developing and manufacturing different testing equipment for mainly automotive customers.

In 2007 we started cooperation with our Belgian partners from Benelux Scientific and later POROMETER to develop the Porometer product line. In 2018 we decided to take it a step further and we joined the Aptco Group – see below.

In 2019 we developed the LUXOR coater product line, a compact and fully automatic metal sputter coater for the electron microscopy market.

Another recent development is the MEMCAST, an automatic film coater for the synthesis of flat sheet polymeric membranes with different thicknesses. New ideas to come!
