Our Story
CRT S.r.l. was established in 1988 as the PVD and CVD coating division of TTN Group, already active for a decade in both steel heat and surface treatments. The challenge was to expand the applications of a technology limited to the cutting tools sector, understanding its huge potentials in several industrial fields.
CRT therefore became the first Italian job coater dedicated exclusively to thin film deposition.
Since its foundation, the company has been specialized in niche applications, especially concerning die casting sector, polymeric materials and hot & cold working processes.
The exceptional properties of PVD and CVD coatings can increase the long-lasting of the moulds, preserving its surface finishing throughout the life cycle as well.
The continuous technological innovation, combined with the decision to provide customized solutions to the needs of each customer, has allowed CRT to grow, increasing the number of plants and coatings solutions.
The vocation, gained from the head company T.T.N. SpA , is also to offer thin film coatings on large tools (D max: 1000mm and h max 2800mm), a unique reality in the national panorama.

T.T.N.Group, established in 1978 as a company dedicated to traditional heat treatments, has expanded over the years and today is composed by 8 companies located both in Italy and abroad. TTN has been the pioneer in Italy regarding the surface heat treatments of gas and plasma nitriding and it currently owns various plants to perform all the heat and thermochemical treatments available on the market. The types of working process have further expanded through the creation of a division dedicated to mechanical machining on large parts and with the foundation of FriulForgia s.r.l. in Sedegliano (UD).
The mission is to offer itself as the only interlocutor starting from the choice of steel up to the surface treatments.
So far there are approximately 500 employees.
