Progalvano: not only plating barrels, but designing of prototypes and innovation for the electroplating sector
One of our slogans that best reflects our reality is ‘not only plating barrels’, and now we’ll explain why.
Progalvano was founded in 1967 as a producer of chemicals and electroplating equipment. Subsequently, thanks to the implementation of new technologies, Progalvano began to specialize in the production of plating barrels and electroplating accessories.
The know-how acquired during decades of experience in the electroplating field, research, study, and development of new technologies has allowed Progalvano to understand today’s market demands and needs, which are increasingly changeable and specialized.
These elements continue to guide the company in the development of new products and the expansion of its expertise in prototype design. This has led to an interest and desire of expanding its product mix and promoting Progalvano as a company that produces ‘not only plating barrels’.
Why customers ask Progalvano for prototype engineering
A first reason is linked to Progalvano’s global presence, facilitated by a network of distributors covering more than 60 countries, confers to Progalvano brand an immediate visibility and makes it an easy point of reference.
Secondly, Progalvano can offer wide experience in terms of production materials. In recent years, Progalvano’s technical and R&D department had the opportunity to test innovative materials, highly specific polymers, and special coatings or films that perfectly suited the prototypes to be engineered.

Special projects and niche applications
Rotating structures, tilting machinery, and flight bars for special applications are some of the supplies we often design and manufacture for certain niche needs.
These machines often represent the meeting of two worlds, the old and the new: some basic components of Progalvano rotors, which are versatile and well suited to special prototypes, are included in machines that have other components that are totally innovative in terms of shape, mechanical design, and materials.
Innovation between electronics and automation
“Not only plating barrels” also means venturing into the worlds of electronics and automation. Progalvano draws ideas, projects, and fundamental insights from these two fields to continuously improve its robots for opening barrels and, above all, to perfect potentiometers, electronic devices, and its own PM SYSTEM, the true electronic potential of our company’s product offering.
