Services

As a traditional Berlin company with decades of experience and excellent references, we present our range
of services in the field of electroplated surface treatment and finishing of metal parts of all kinds. We coat
all electroplatable metals, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as alloys.

We are particularly specialised in rust-free internal coating of pipes up to 3000 mm in
length and in high-gloss surfaces for demanding applications. Complete and partial finishing
is possible with coating thicknesses up to 1000 µm for hard chrome and up to 300 µm for electroless nickel –
for example on valves, ball plugs, housing components and pistons. On request we also handle delivery of your parts.
