Grand opening and official SOP of the most powerful zinc and zinc-nickel rack plating line at the KAP Surface location Heiche Polska

It has now been almost 10 months since the first construction work at the Heiche Polska site,
which has been part of the KAP Surface Technologies group since 2018, started.

All work was successfully completed by the end of 2020.
The result is a state-of-the-art, innovative and powerful rack coating system for the surface finishing
of steel and cast iron with zinc and zinc-nickel.

KAP Surface Technologies as well as the lead supplier of coating line MATU Invest Sp.Z o.o, to toast the
official start of series production. Together with the CEO of KAP Surface Technologies Nicolai A. J. Baum,

local management, Piotr Kusmierz and Mariusz Skrzyniarz.

processes and procedures for security the zero-error strategy is to be switched to 2-shift operation in March 2021

will ramp up production to three-shift operation this year, ”says Nicolai A. J. Baum, CEO of KAP Surface Technologies.
