Component Electroplating

Advanced Reel-to-Reel Electroplating 

At Batten & Allen, we enhance the finish of your components using high-quality, custom-designed reel-to-reel electroplating lines. Ranging from selective to precious metal plating, our multi-finish capabilities cater to a host of requirements across countless industries.

Our facility is home to eight in-house electroplating lines, capable of reel-to-reel plating of stamped components, as well as pre-plating of continuous coil materials for later stamping. This integrated approach allows us to deliver superior quality and rapid production turnaround.

With a policy of maximum self-sufficiency, our electroplating lines are designed and built on-site - allowing us to achieve the highest standards of quality and efficiency, which can be maintained under our own roof. The empowers us to deliver our services without unexpected delays, and to help you meet your own production deadlines at speed.
