About Us
Schnabel Metallveredelungs-GmbH is a family-owned company from Iserlohn specializing in electroplated surface finishing of metal components. Core services include chromium plating as well as its proprietary Cr3+ process, which — as an alternative to the classic chromium trioxide process — plates components with the same quality, color, corrosion protection and volume, even in the event of an impending ban on chromium trioxide. A special feature is a patent-pending, nickel-free drinking water coating that is DVGW-certified and prevents the leaching of nickel from fittings and pipe components. In addition to its own services, the company draws on a highly specialized network to offer additional process steps. Customers come in particular from the drinking water and fittings industry.
