SPECIALIST JOBS : Lathco specialise in providing a plating service that can cope with any customers demands, even the most unusual items. The technical expertise and experience at Lathco enable the company to complete specialist jobs that other sources are unable to.


An example of some of the more difficult items that are regularly plated to the same high quality standards include musical instruments. The instruments vary in size and shape. Some instruments such as the Bbb Bass Tuba (4 valve) are very large (Approx. 4ft in length) and complex in shape. In addition Lathco are often involved in one off and production runs of items and products that are technically challenging to plate.


ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS : Lathco do not just provide a service to the cutlery and holloware industry, they also have many engineering customers that have differing requirements for the application of plating processes. Some of the products have to be processed to very high technical standards due to their engineering application. Lathco can also provide barrel plating services.
