Company description

The OFB-Kimax is a small electroplating plant with a long tradition. Electroplating was carried out at the site 100 years ago. Belonging to the Armaturenwerk during GDR times, after the fall of the Wall, the electroplating went to Grohe and later to Siedle Hot-Formed Parts, which then wanted to close the factory site in 2016. This was prevented by 3 former employees who decided to join forces with a regional investor and founded today's OFB Kimax in 2017.

Since that time, electroplating has generated over 80% of its turnover from the sanitary sector through grinding, polishing and chrome-plating of fittings. Since the beginning of the year, we have also been offering the restoration of classic car parts. Coatings with copper, nickel and chrome can therefore currently be produced on aluminum, steel and non-ferrous metal, including mechanical pre-processing.

We are now back in a state of upheaval and are opening a new chapter in the history of the location. We are currently in the process of reorienting ourselves both in terms of shareholder composition and on the market and would like to add new processes to our portfolio. In the longer term, we are thinking of anodized aluminum and, chemically, nickel. In the short term, the construction of a new automatic machine for coating with tin or silver is planned.
