Exceeding the needs of our customers
We offer both bright tin finishing as well as matt (pure) tin to meet the varied demands of the end user. We can also offer a copper plate undercoat for tin, normally specified when the substrate is brass. Our main activity is in the tin electroplating of components for the automotive, electrical and electro-mechanical industries.
Word class facilities for unmatched results
The combination of barrel and vat processing facilities give us the ability to plate volume small components as well as larger items that need to be individually jigged. Contacts and fasteners, as well as larger pressings and castings, are amongst the many items that pass through our plating department. With the growing interest in Electric Vehicles, tin plated components for the automotive OEMs are becoming an important addition to our activities.
