  Surface-working skills have century-old tradition in Schwäbisch Gmünd. As a town whose commercial origins are in gold and silver crafting, surface refinement was an important sales argument even then. On the basis of this tradition, Schwäbisch Gmünd as an industrial location unites numerous branches of industry as a result of providing a cross-section through surface technology. This is evident in the density of research, training and qualification facilities, associations and organisations in this field of technology.

Jewellery production and the refinement of working materials are still carried on in Schwäbisch Gmünd. But they only represent a fraction of the broad spectrum of companies and institutes in the fields of research, development and production that meanwhile contribute significantly to the surface technology growth market.
