The Varland Advantage:

At Varland Plating, we utilize the Watts nickel plating process, offering both bright and semi-bright finishes to meet a wide range of customer needs. Whether your application requires a high-gloss decorative finish or a semi-bright finish with enhanced ductility, our automated and manual lines ensure precision and consistency at every step.

• High Capacity & Versatility: Our automated line, equipped with 22 plating stations and four different barrel sizes, allows us to handle high-volume applications while maintaining the flexibility to manage smaller, custom orders. No job is too big or too small.

• Fully Automated Process Control: Every aspect of the plating process—including barrel speed, amperage, voltage, and plating time—is fully automated to ensure consistent thickness and the highest level of quality across all components. Varland maintains historical electronic records for all plating stations, ensuring traceability and quality control throughout production.

• Precise Thickness Verification: Using x-ray fluorescence technology, we verify plating thickness to ensure each part meets your exact specifications.

• Unmatched Adhesion & Solder-ability: Varland is known for achieving excellent adhesion in parts requiring brazing or soldering, with no loss of adhesion or blistering, even during assembly processes that involve crimping or deforming parts. This level of quality has earned Varland the recommendation of Parker Hannifin Corporation as a trusted supplier.

• Stringent Cleaning Procedures: Our stringent cleaning protocols ensure that parts retain their adhesion throughout the assembly process, even when crimped or deformed.

Why Choose Electrolytic Nickel?

• Heavily Used in Automotive Applications: Electrolytic Nickel plating is a workhorse of the automotive industry, providing durable finishes with excellent corrosion resistance and ductility.

• Bright Nickel for Cosmetic Appeal: Bright Nickel plating is often selected for cosmetic applications, providing a high-gloss, reflective finish that enhances the visual appeal of parts.

• Superior Ductility: Both the bright and semi-bright finishes exhibit very good ductility, allowing components to undergo deformation without cracking or losing adhesion, making them ideal for a variety of industrial applications.
