Progalvano
Progalvano SRL: 50 Years in the Electroplating Industry
Progalvano develops, produces and sells plating barrels
and accessories for plating plants, globally. Thanks to a
unique experience achieved across five decades of activity
and thanks to the constant improvement of our industrial
processes, our company focuses on its tradition, innovation,
devotion and commitment, with the aim of offering concrete
quality to customers and partners. Today, after having
achieved global expansion in more than 50 countries,
Progalvano has become an international leading producer of
plating machines.
Progalvano was founded in 1967 as a manufacturer of
chemical products and electroplating processes. In the
1970s, however, it decided to specialize in the manufacture of
electroplating equipment. In 1980, Progalvano's core business
evolved further, focusing on the production of plating barrels
and accessories for the electroplating industry. At the start
of the new Millennium, Progalvano's experience expanded
in new and significant areas. As a company with a global
reach, it now has a presence in major markets worldwide,
and exports to more than 50 countries, including emerging
markets and Southeast Asia.
Progalvano has put all its efforts into technological research,
increasingly focusing on machinery automation and forging
partnerships with electronics and industrial automation
companies. Progalvano is an outstanding example of a madein-Italy
firm, as it is able to work in a creative, original and
flexible manner and adapt to different market conditions.
This enables the company to come up with technological
solutions to any customers' production problems. Indeed,
our partnership with research institutes, universities and
technical companies forms an integral part of our modus
operandi. Following a gradual but continuous process of
expansion and constant research for efficiency, in 2021
Progalvano moved to a new and modern facility: a unique
Headquarters of 5100 sq m where our technical work could
find a new way of expression. New investments in industrial
machines have also followed, and this year our company
will add new processes for improving the production of our
rotors and for offering fast deliveries of our product.
Progalvano's plating barrel production is based on the use
of top-quality raw materials and cooperation with expert
suppliers fully participating in the company's production
processes. The raw materials used to manufacture our
plating barrels and electroplating equipment are of superior
quality, such as: PVDF, Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene
(PE), Teflon, Polymer-compounds of Teflon and Carbon
fibers; Electrolytic Copper (99,9% Cu Etp), Stainless Steel
AISI 316 and 304.
Among various industrial processes, the creation of barrels
and plating supply requires molding by compression and
polyfusion. Our technology is the result of outstanding
experience and a deep synergy with our customers' needs
and feedback. Looking back over the history of the firm, the
strengths that enabled Progalvano to gradually gain new
market share and consolidate its brand include the ability to
create and develop prototypes and cutting-edge, customized
products to suit clients' needs, experienced and reliable staff
that have always been considered key stakeholders, as well
as faster lead times as compared to peer companies; a good
Time to Market; and finally, a natural bias for growth in new
markets. At present, Progalvano is investing much time and
resources in the development of products for the American
market, thanks to a local official sales representative in
Buffalo, NY. With the support of our American and Mexican
distributors, we have the opportunity to introduce our
barrels and our brand to a variety of plating shops in the
U.S., Canada and Mexico. Progalvano spent the last 6 years
investing in exhibitions, advertising, market research and
promotion of its products in the American continent. The
next step will be SUR/FIN 2023: Progalvano will be glad to
meet its customers in Cleveland next June!
