Nitec (UK) Limited is one of the leading electroless nickel plating companies in the UK with over 20 years' experience in plating all ferrous materials, including stainless steel, copper and aluminum (and their alloys), in fact most materials used in general engineering.  As the term suggests, electroless nickel plating does not use an electronic current to produce a deposit.

"Our aim is to process components to the highest standards and provide practical solutions where the customers’ specifications are complex.  This has proved to be a successful philosophy enabling Nitec to develop a broad customer base encompassing a diverse range of industries including oil and gas, Ministry of Defence, communications, farming, construction and general engineering.
