Some history about us:

W A Plating was first established in 1987 and primarily did Terne Plating on petrol fuel fillernecks for the motor industry (Toyota, VW and GM).  The technology was developed to plate the fuel fillernecks internally and externally using zinc plating.  W A Plating expanded into all different metal treatments.  The latest technologies are used in our facility where we use Trivalient environmentally friendly products.  We are also ISO registered with NQA.  Our staff are very competent and 90% are on long service some having been with the company since its inception.

 

In 2001 Microcor (Pty) Ltd was established.  This is a joint venture between the directors of Eibach Oberflachentechnik (EOT) GmbH in Germany and W A Plating cc.  Through our joint venture partners we were able to expand our metal treating services to include Delta Tone and Delta Seal. Industrial Powder coating is also available .

Microcor's motto is Ultimate Corrosion Protection - www.microcor.co.za

In 2018 WA Plating purchased an e coating line and Glomix e coating was formed.  Glomix is based at 130 Paterson Road, North End.  

 

We are a customer with the worlds leading chemical suppliers and have access to the latest technology and improvements.  Most of our chemicals are imported from America and Germany.  Our processes are listed on the IMDS website and are available to our customers.
