Excellence in the UK silver plating industry The UK has a reputation for engineering and manufacturing excellence, and this is no truer than in the surface engineering industry. The UK has many forward-thinking, innovative companies working in this technically demanding industry. UK silver plating has been used in one form or another for over 200 years, first to provide cheaper alternatives to items that would originally have been made from solid silver such as candlesticks, serving platters, cutlery etc. In the 19th Century, however, new methods of plating were introduced such as electroplating which allowed a number of metal substrates to be plated for industrial purposes. During this time, a number of electroplating companies were formed, some of which are still going strong today. So what does it take to be one of the leading surface engineering companies in the country, providing high quality UK silver plating and other electroplating and anodising services?
