Plating: it’s part of everyone’s daily life
Now that we’ve told you, you’ll notice it everywhere
Shiny chrome, golden finishes, perfectly smooth or satin surfaces, metallic details built to last. You see them every day, everywhere: in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in your car, on your phone, even on your clothes. And yet, you’ve probably never wondered how they’re made.
The answer: plating. And in many cases, with systems designed and built by OMIG.
You turn on the tap in the bathroom: that glossy, durable finish is the result of a plating process.
You switch on the light, open a cupboard, grab a handle or knob: more plating. Not just decoration, but functionality, durability, protection.
Buttons, buckles, zippers, caps, studs. Every metal accessory in fashion—especially high-end fashion—is treated to last and to shine.
OMIG has built plating systems for leading fashion brands, where aesthetics, quality, and replicability go hand in hand.
Gold, silver, ruthenium, palladium, bronze, nickel, chrome, and combination treatments: every detail makes a difference.
In the kitchen, every appliance contains metal components treated through plating: knobs, trims, shiny or satin-finished details that combine style and resistance to daily use.
In furniture, metal surfaces and accessories are enhanced and protected through specific finishes: hinges, handles, metal frames, feet, decorative and brushed inserts.
And of course, in taps and fittings, where form meets function. Surface treatments not only provide shine and color, but also ensure protection from moisture, limescale, and wear—a lasting result, essential in both kitchens and bathrooms.
Pick up your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or any electronic device: inside, there are tiny plated metal components—often invisible to the eye, but crucial for performance.
Connectors, circuits, electrical contacts: plating ensures conductivity, reliability, and corrosion resistance, even in the most delicate and miniaturized contexts.
OMIG designs systems capable of treating even the most complex PCBs with extreme precision, supporting the needs of sectors such as electronics and microelectronics.
In the automotive and aerospace sectors, plating is everywhere: chrome and zinc coatings, from aesthetic parts to functional components that must withstand mechanical stress, weather, moisture, and salt.
Handles, grilles, emblems, wheels, interior and exterior decorative trims—but also brackets, connectors, shock absorbers, structural parts: plating guarantees visual appeal, protection, and long-lasting performance.
OMIG builds plating systems for metal and plastic parts in the automotive and aerospace industries, where each treatment must meet strict standards and be replicable and sustainable on an industrial scale.
Because in today’s, and tomorrow’s, mobility, style and performance go hand in hand.
Every industry has specific needs. OMIG designs tailor-made systems to respond with precision, reliability, and sustainability.
Systems for fashion, furniture, automotive, electronics, home appliances. Systems that transform metal and plastic, every single day.
Now you know: plating is everywhere. And OMIG is behind many of those surfaces.
Next time you touch something shiny, satin-finished, or gold-plated… take a moment.
That surface is the result of advanced technology, a customized process, a system designed down to the finest detail.
Quite possibly, designed by OMIG.
Plating systems work behind the scenes. But their impact is right before your eyes.
And now that you know, you’ll notice it everywhere.
