For over 60 years, K.L. Giddings Ltd has been manufacturing precision-engineered components for customers throughout the UK. Our experience covers a wide range of industries, including: 

 

 

As an ISO 9001-certified company, we are committed to delivering consistently high-quality components supported by full inspection and traceability. 

 

 

Electroless Nickel Plating (ENP) is a chemical plating process that deposits a uniform layer of nickel-phosphorus alloy onto the surface of a component without the use of an electrical current. 

 

Unlike conventional electroplating, electroless nickel coats complex shapes, deep bores, internal threads and intricate machined features evenly, making it ideal for precision engineering applications. 

 

The result is a hard, uniform, corrosion-resistant coating with excellent dimensional consistency. 

 

 

Electroless nickel plating offers numerous advantages, including: 

 

 

These properties make ENP an ideal finish for components used in demanding engineering environments. 

 

 

Electroless nickel plating is commonly applied to: 

 

 

Our experienced team can advise on the most suitable surface preparation and finish for your application.
