About Us

Electroplating is the process of depositing a metal coating onto the surface of an object through the use of an electrical current. The process has come a long way since its initial development in the early 1800s. Electroplating has evolved into a highly complex process requiring a high level of precision and expertise. That's why choosing an experienced plating business with a track record of innovation is so important for any industrial or manufacturing operation.
