About Brautmeier GmbH
Brautmeier GmbH is a contract finisher specializing in surface finishing, based in Salzkotten in East Westphalia-Lippe. The company is divided into two divisions: The PCB Service Station finishes printed circuit boards with, among other things, electroless nickel/gold (ENIG), electroless nickel/palladium/gold (ENEPIG), electroless tin and Hot Air Leveling (HAL), each with lead and lead-free. The Metal Styling division offers decorative and functional finishing of single parts through to large series, including electropolishing of stainless steel, pickling passivation of aluminum (Alodine 2040), yellow chromating (Alodine 1200), chromium(VI)-free passivation (Surtec 650), electroless nickel plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, grinding & polishing, cleaning, blasting and fine blasting, stainless steel pickling and passivation as well as anodizing, dyeing and hard anodizing. Material focuses are aluminum, stainless steel and printed circuit boards. The company has been certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 since September 25, 2003 and emphasizes high availability, short response times and flexibility in order planning.
