About Rigabo Galvanik GmbH
Rigabo Galvanik GmbH in Bocholt is an electroplating operation that has been producing galvanic coatings for over 50 years. Its range of services includes degreasing work, zinc plating and chromating, hard chromium plating, bright chromium plating, pickling and passivation, as well as chromium and zinc plating for private customers. Steel, copper, brass and stainless steel are finished. In semi-automatic lines, fully and semi-finished parts in copper, chromium and zinc are coated as rack-plated goods up to a length of 3,000 mm; mass-produced items run through the barrel automatic line in nickel and zinc. Coating thicknesses are measured and logged by X-ray fluorescence; the electrolytes and workflows are analytically monitored and documented. Customers come from telecommunications, mechanical engineering and plant engineering. Deliveries are made to North Rhine-Westphalia.
