About us
Karl Kunze Trommelgalvanisierungen GmbH is a family-run specialist operation for barrel finishing in Berlin-Kreuzberg, in family ownership for over 100 years. The company applies galvanic coatings in zinc, copper, nickel and tin, primarily on zinc die cast and other metals. Small-part mass production is processed in barrel plating; rack goods are, after inspection, also coated in the more cost-effective barrel process. Production runs in 24-hour operation up to seven days a week, which enables short delivery times. The site at Boppstraße 6 operates an electroplating plant that is monitored under immission control law as an operational area under the Industrial Accidents Ordinance (12. BImSchV, lower class). Customers come from industries that require finished zinc die-cast and metal components, in particular from the surface technology chain surrounding zinc die-cast finishing.
