During 2011, Oerlikon Coating opened an additional coating center in India and two more in China, bringing the number of centers in that country to nine. Asia is a key area of focus for all of Oerlikon's Segments and further expansion is planned. The Textile Segment announced the relocation of its headquarters to Shanghai, Oerlikon Vacuum expanded its production site in Tianjin, boosting capacity by 30 %, and Oerlikon Drive Systems has begun operating its new production facility in Suzhou.
Innovation is at the core of Oerlikon's philosophy. Innovative products differentiate the company in its markets and investment into research and development (R&D) is important for the company's success. R&D expenditure in 2011 was CHF 213 million or 5 % of sales (2010: CHF 239 million).
In 2011, the company launched a number of groundbreaking innovations, including seven completely redesigned textile machines, new transmission systems for Lamborghini, Aston Martin and McLaren unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, a new series of electricdrive Torque-Hub products for off-highway heavy duty applications, the MAGiNTEGRA vacuum pump, a second generation of the ThinFab solar module production line, the pioneering coating technology Scalable Pulsed Power Plasma (S3p) and the HEXAGON, a new coating system for advanced packaging in the semiconductor industry.
