DOWA's Plating Method

Among various plating methods, DOWA applies the reel-to-reel plating method.
Compared to other plating methods such as rack plating and barrel plating, in which individual parts are plated after stamping, the reel-to-reel plating method allows for high productivity and excellent quality stability.
