About Us


Product range imagePlasma and Surface Science

Henniker a leading manufacturer of plasma treatment systems for cleaning, surface activation to improve adhesion, and functional nano-scale coating.

Our innovative plasma treatment equipment is trusted globally in both critical industrial manufacturing settings and by leading academic research groups where it is used in biomedical research, life sciences, energy storage, filtration and many other areas of materials science in general.

Founded in 2008, we design and manufacture innovative plasma surface treatment systems and processes that bring immediate and lasting benefits to our customers, both industrial and academic.  Our products range from low-cost bench-top plasma cleaners to high throughput production scale equipment for surface activation and for the deposition of nano-scale coatings.

Plasma surface treatment is capable of producing unique properties over the entire surface of any material that is processed. Material properties are greatly enhanced, adding significant functional and commercial value to a product and/or replacing other costly and inefficient process steps. Plasma treatments take just minutes and there are no harmful waste products.
