Greece sits at the strategic crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its expansive maritime economy—centered around historical ports like Piraeus, Thessaloniki, and Elefsina—places immense demands on metallic hardware. Components exposed to salt-laden marine air, heavy industrial machinery, solar energy mounting structures, and agricultural systems require robust corrosion mitigation strategies.
Historically, local surface treatment workshops in Attica, Central Macedonia, and Thessaly relied on basic, legacy electroplating configurations. However, with the stringent introduction of EU-wide environmental directives, including the REACH and RoHS frameworks, the local industry has undergone a deep structural shift. Legacy hexavalent chromium processes and cyanide-containing copper/zinc bases are rapidly being phased out. Modern Greek metal finish finishers demand non-hazardous, high-efficiency chemistry systems that do not compromise on functional performance or durability.
Our tailored chemical formulations—ranging from electroless nickel with varying phosphorus levels to advanced trivalent zinc-nickel passivations—are formulated to address these local demands, ensuring Greek factories can export products worldwide without compliance barriers.
Piraeus ship repair zones demand extreme resistance to chloride corrosion. Our high-phosphorus electroless nickel coatings offer a barrier-type protection that withstands over 1,000 hours of neutral salt spray testing (ISO 9227), shielding vital naval valves and steering gears.
Greece's massive solar fields across Thessaly utilize fasteners that must survive intense UV exposure and hot, dry, agricultural atmospheric environments. Trivalent zinc-nickel alloy systems replace traditional coatings to deliver triple the service life.
Greek high-end hospitality projects require flawless architectural finishes. PBN Pearl Nickel systems allow local electroplaters to achieve satin-textured, uniform, satin-pearl chrome layers that are highly scratch-resistant and visually premium.
