Our Coating & Plating Capabilities
Learn about our coatings and wire plating capabilities and find out how we can help your application.
Custom Coating Options
We expertly apply various peelable Plastisol PVC coatings to protect the surface of the coil during your processing operations. And depending on your exact requirements, the protective coatings can be applied with various thicknesses, adhesion properties, colors, and opacity.
For sophisticated coatings and plating that aim to do more than merely protect the surface, Ulbrich works with several outside vendors. With them, we help bring your product to completion so you don't need to send your coil to a coater and deal with the additional logistics, scrap, and paperwork.

With our own cutting-edge production lines and a century of experience, we can plate almost any precious metal on special purpose alloys.
