Customer stories

“For our winch parts in saltwater environments, we needed reliable corrosion protection. With Protalloy® from Galvano Hengelo, we found a durable zinc-nickel treatment that protects our parts and makes them look beautiful.”

“We were looking for durable protection for heavily loaded parts. Electrogalvanising did not hold up, so we chose Protalloy® from Galvano Hengelo. This zinc-nickel treatment is wear-resistant, rust-proof and much more efficient for our process.”

“In 2021, due to long delivery times, we were looking for a new partner for silver plating and tinning. With Galvano Hengelo, we experience better quality, stable delivery times and price, as well as sharing a strong environmental policy for sustainable processes.”
