New Zinc Nickel Plating Line

Birmingham, UK – 12.04.26

EC Williams, a leading UK provider of electroplating and metal finishing services, has announced a significant investment in a new zinc nickel plating line, reinforcing its capability to support high-volume, high-specification work across key industrial sectors.

The new line increases EC Williams’ production capacity and enhances its ability to deliver consistent, corrosion-resistant coatings at scale. The investment comes in response to growing demand from sectors such as automotive, defence, and advanced engineering, where zinc nickel plating is increasingly specified for its superior durability and performance.

Zinc nickel plating is widely recognised for its exceptional corrosion resistance and reliability in harsh environments, it has become the de-facto replacement for cadmium. By expanding its in-house capability, EC Williams is now better positioned to support both ongoing production contracts and customers requiring dependable turnaround times for critical components.

Henrik Skouby, Managing Director at EC Williams, commented:
“Investing in this new zinc nickel plating line is a key step in our long-term growth strategy. It allows us to increase capacity while maintaining the high standards of quality and consistency our customers expect. More importantly, it enables us to support customers who need a reliable partner for ongoing, high-volume work.”

The new line has been designed to improve throughput while maintaining strict quality control, ensuring uniform coating thickness and performance across all batches. This positions EC Williams as a strong partner for manufacturers seeking scalable plating solutions without compromising on technical requirements.

This investment also reflects EC Williams’ continued commitment to innovation and operational excellence, ensuring the business remains competitive in a demanding and evolving marketplace.

For customers, the benefits are immediate: improved lead times, greater production flexibility, and the confidence of working with a supplier equipped to handle complex and repeat production requirements.
