50 YEARS OF INNOVATION

The production and marketing of chrome-plated bars and tubular profiles have been carried out in Brugherio (MB) since the 1970s, when C.P.I. S.p.a introduced innovative work cycles and patented system technology. In 1998, Galtec s.r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ELG Steel S.p.a, took over the entire business, concentrating production and investments on systems for the processing of outsize products, with diameters starting from 5 mm up to a maximum of 500 mm. In 2015, following a corporate reorganisation, ELG Chromium Plating s.r.l., abbreviated to ECP, was established. The new company continued to pursue the previously traced path of technological innovation in the field of industrial hard chromium plating, focusing particularly on large and extremely long products, thanks to the exploitation of continuous chromium plating plants that are unique in the world, devoting particular attention to the contract transformation market.
