Surface treatment plays a crucial role in spare parts manufacturing, ensuring that components meet the demanding requirements of the automotive industry. Our wide range of surface treatment options allows us to offer customers a comprehensive, “one-stop-shop” solution, providing fully finished components that are ready for assembly in vehicles worldwide. This integration of services streamlines the production process, offering convenience and peace of mind to clients.

The automotive sector relies heavily on surface treatment processes to enhance the safety, functionality, and durability of components. In collaboration with our sister company, Gulf Extrusions, we house various treatments, including anodising, powder coating, and chrome-free chemical conversion coating. Anodising, in particular, is commonly used for aluminium extrusion products, where it transforms the surface layer of the material into aluminium oxide. This not only improves corrosion resistance but also creates a harder-wearing surface, making it ideal for the automotive industry.

For applications that demand even further protection, conversion coating and E-coating are utilized. Conversion coating serves as a pre-treatment process for E-coating, offering additional protection against corrosion. In addition, powder coating is applied electrostatically using dry powder paint, providing a robust protective layer and offering various colour options. These surface treatments ensure the longevity, strength, and visual appeal of automotive components, meeting the rigorous standards of the industry.
