SURFACE TREATMENTS
Comprehensive Surface Treatments for High Durability
We provide electroplating and other surface treatments for fasteners and technical components. Thanks to our in-house electroplating facility, we combine production, heat treatment, surface treatment, inspection and subsequent packaging within a single process.
- In-house electroplating facility
- High corrosion resistance
- Series production
- Quality control
Surface Treatment Designed According to the Function of Each Component
We specialise in comprehensive electroplated surface treatments for fasteners and technical components. Our main technologies include zinc electroplating and highly corrosion-resistant zinc-nickel coatings, complemented by other specialised processes according to the specific application.
Depending on the size, geometry and quantity of components, we use barrel or rack plating. The resulting surface properties can be further modified through suitable passivation, sealing, lubricant coatings or protective topcoats.
We regularly inspect the quality of surface treatments. Using X-ray technology, we verify coating thickness and composition and, according to customer requirements, also provide inspection certificates, PPAP documentation and corrosion testing.
Corrosion protection
We select the appropriate coating system according to the application and specification.
Functional properties
We also modify friction properties, passivation and final sealing.
High capacity
Automated lines enable us to process large volumes of components.

Our Technologies
Zinc electroplating
Reliable corrosion protection for fasteners and technical components
Zinc electroplating is one of the most widely used methods for protecting steel components against corrosion. We offer both barrel and rack zinc plating according to the type, size and quantity of components being processed.
The resulting zinc coating can be supplemented with blue, transparent or thick-film passivation and, depending on specific requirements, with subsequent surface sealing.
Why our technology?
High production capacity and the ability to combine different zinc plating, passivation and sealing processes allow us to adapt the final surface treatment to the specific product and required level of protection.
- Barrel and rack zinc plating
- Reliable corrosion protection
- Multiple passivation options
- Surface sealing available
- High production capacity
- Coating thickness inspection
Zinc-nickel
Highly corrosion-resistant coating for demanding industrial applications
Zinc-nickel alloy coatings are primarily intended for components with high corrosion resistance requirements. We perform alkaline barrel ZnNi plating on automated barrel lines.
The coating contains approximately 12–15% nickel and can be supplemented with transparent or black passivation, surface sealing or subsequent application of lubricant coatings.
Why our technology?
The automated process enables stable and repeatable results in series production. ZnNi is particularly suitable for demanding applications in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries.
- Very high corrosion resistance
- Nickel content of approximately 12–15%
- Transparent or black passivation
- Surface sealing available
- Lubricant coatings available
- Stable automated process
Barrel and rack plating
Flexible processing from small series-produced parts to larger components
Barrel plating is particularly suitable for screws, nuts, washers and other smaller metal components manufactured in larger series. Automated lines enable efficient processing of large volumes under stable process conditions.
Rack plating is used for larger or geometrically complex components that cannot be processed in bulk in a barrel. Components are individually mounted on racks and the processing method is selected individually.
Why our technology?
The combination of barrel and rack processing allows us to select the appropriate technology according to the size, geometry and quantity of components while maintaining consistent coating quality.
- Large series of smaller components
- Larger technical components
- Automated barrel lines
- Individual rack mounting
- Zn and ZnNi technologies
- Stable process conditions
Special and functional surface treatments
Surface treatment adapted to the functional requirements of the component
In addition to standard electroplated coatings, we also provide subsequent technologies that allow us to modify corrosion resistance, friction properties and the final behaviour of the surface. These include passivation, sealing, lubricant coatings and protective topcoats.
Our portfolio also includes the special Zinklad MGL coating system designed for technically demanding applications. The specific coating system is selected according to the drawing and customer specification.
Why our technology?
The ability to combine the base coating with additional functional layers allows us to create a solution precisely tailored to the required corrosion resistance, appearance and friction properties.
- Zn and ZnNi passivation
- Surface sealing
- Lubricant and protective topcoats
- Friction coefficient modification
- Zinklad MGL technology
- Solutions according to specification
Aluminium anodizing and Zamak passivation
Protective surface treatments for aluminium and zinc alloys
Anodizing creates a durable oxide layer on the surface of aluminium and its alloys, increasing both corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The technology is suitable for both technical and visual components.
For Zamak components, we offer direct passivation without the need for prior zinc electroplating. The treatment increases surface protection while preserving the characteristics of the base material.
Why our technology?
Thanks to dedicated technologies for aluminium and zinc alloys, we can effectively protect materials for which conventional zinc electroplating is not the optimal solution.
- Aluminium anodizing
- Suitable for aluminium alloys
- High corrosion resistance
- Increased wear resistance
- Direct Zamak passivation
- No zinc electroplating required
