We make stainless steel smoother, cleaner and more durable. Mechanically, measurably and without chemicals.

Our story

It started with a question, it became a standard

For over 25 years we have been perfecting our patented wet polishing technology. It began with the search for a safer, chemical-free alternative for treating stainless steel. Today ViwateQ is the proven quality standard for demanding surfaces.

Producers in food, pharma and semicon rely on ViwateQ worldwide. From Geldermalsen and through a network of licensed partners, such as ViwateQ Izegem in Belgium, we make the technology available locally.

How we work

From test piece to specification

Every collaboration starts with your part and your requirements. With a free test piece you see in advance what the ViwateQ finish does on your material. We measure roughness and topography, so the result is visible in figures.

Together we record the surface specification. After that you choose: we treat your parts as a service, or you bring the process in-house with your own cabin.

Sustainable and safe

Clean for your product, safe for people

ViwateQ works without chemicals. Better for the environment, safer for operators and simpler for permits. That is how we combine innovation with sustainability.

What we stand for

Three principles in everything we do

Chemical-free

No pickling acids or hazardous substances. Safer for operators, better for the environment and simpler for permits.

Measurable

We do not promise a finish, we measure it. Roughness, topography and corrosion resistance are recorded.

Close to our customers

Short lines, a permanent contact and locations and partners close to where you produce.

Our locations

Locally available, one standard

Our headquarters is in Geldermalsen in the Netherlands, where several large-scale installations run in shifts. In Belgium, we work with our partner ViwateQ Izegem.

Through a network of licensed partners, the technology is also available further afield. Every partner applies the ViwateQ standard exactly according to our protocols.
