Our industry is an art which has been passed on by generations, mixing old with new. The traditional plating methods over the years have progressed, but we have retained some of the beauty of the past. This allows us to be both innovative and competitive, whilst retaining the ability to provide some of the best workmanship available in NZ.

Our business is reliant upon our knowledge being passed on. Knowing this encourages a family environment where learning and innovation is paramount.

Whether the job is large or small we pride ourselves in knowing that you will get the best available in both service and quality.

The Origins of Zinc and Chrome Limited

Began in 1955 when John Roberts and Phil Harris worked together and then founded Valley Platers Ltd (Hutt Valley) and the Electrozinc Plating Company (Wanganui) respectively.

Both Companies have been passed through generations of their families who remain within the group today.

In 1991 John Tate purchased Electrozinc and later in 2008 purchased Valley Platers when Phil Harris’s son, Wade purchased 50% of both Companies. This has formed a formidable partnership between John and Wade which has instigated a total turnaround of the business to where it is today.

Our commitment to you is quality and service
