Electroless nickel plating.
Hard chrome plating.
Cylindrical grinding.

The precise finishing of industrial products is our standard.

Leveraging modern surface technology, years of experience, and a clear commitment to quality, we process workpieces for a wide range of industrial applications – reliably, economically, and at the highest technical level. For you, this means: robust solutions, reproducible results, and perfectly finished components.

Four processes, one goal: maximum component performance.

With KANIGEN®, KANISIL®/KANISIL®Plus, KANIFLON®, and KANICHROM®, we combine proven, proprietary surface engineering processes to deliver functional surface finishing at the highest level. Depending on specific requirements, we provide precise protection against corrosion and wear, defined friction and sliding properties, and robust coating systems—all in a manner that is reproducible, cost-effective, and process-reliable.

The result: components that last longer, function more reliably, and deliver measurably superior performance in operation.
