» RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
   
Faced with the growing industrial demand for the performance and durability of materials, HEF Group has built its offer on its capacity to innovate, thus demonstrating its continuous adaptation to its customers' problems.



HEF's R&D branch assembles the skills required for this function and is ready to deal with the following industrial issues :

> the study and resolution of friction and wear problems
> the development of new materials, and their related deposition processes, making metal, plastic & composite, or ceramic surfaces functional
> the development of global solutions to achieve a finished component (joints, micro-battery, etc.) providing a specified function (mechanical, electrical, optical, etc.) where functional control of the surface is of prime importance
> the study and development of equipment in the area of surface treatments and coatings.
