Testimonials from members
Josef Faigle, Managing Director, Quality Analysis GmbH
“What characterises FiT is the association’s outstanding expertise and clearly focused orientation. It keeps issues moving forward efficiently – which makes sure that we move forward as a company as well. And it’s not just a question of finding technologies, but of advancing them together as a team.”
Dr. Markus J. Heneka, Managing Director, RJL Micro & Analytic GmbH
"The practical user support provided by FiT in the form of guidelines and articles at the specialist conferences is particularly convincing. We think this approach is worth supporting and that is why we are actively involved in the conferences and specialist committees."

“FiT has really taken a positive development. It addresses important issues from which users and manufacturers can really benefit. For us it is necessary to belong to the association and support its work. After all, you won’t have a lobby without an industry association.”
Bernhard Sievering, Managing Director, BvL Oberflächentechnik GmbH
“Many are unfamiliar with the tasks associated with parts cleaning. There is no specific qualification to complete and so the knowledge needs to be taught again and again. The industry needs a professional association to raise its profile and stand out. The association must send clear messages and pool know-how, opinions and interests.”
Dr. Winfried Plitzko, Head of Surface Technology, OQEMA GmbH
“There were several direct reasons that prompted us to join FiT: to enlarge our footprint and become better known in the industry, to acquire orientation, to have a dedicated port of call and to contribute actively to certain topics.”
Matthias Kroll, Managing Director (CEO), LK-Mechanik GmbH
“FiT is the perfect association for all technical disciplines to address the complex issue of parts cleaning from a holistic perspective. We therefore feel the need to be active in a strong association like FiT.”
