General Metal Finishing Product Overview

• Electroless Plating Chemistries
• Electrolytic Plating Chemistries
• Pre Plate Chemistries
• Post Plate Chemistries
• Ancillary Plating Products

We offer robust systems that meet new environmental regulations, including the Green Initiative, WEEE, ROHS and ELV while delivering superior performance for the demanding requirements of today’s surface finishing needs.

For 30 years, OMG has been the specialty electroless nickel producer that job shops and captive producers have depended on for innovative chemistry.

OMG started creating high-purity high-phosphorus electroless nickel for the ultra-critical memory disk industry, and then branched out to many other types of electroless nickel processes for a variety of markets and applications, including abrasives, aerospace, automotive, avionics, electronics, food handling, medical, molds, optics, petrochemical, surgical, textile and tool & die.  Currently, we manufacture a variety of high-, medium- and low-phosphorus electroless nickel products that meet ASTM standards, in addition to RoHS- and ELV-compliant lead and cadmium-free components.  We also offer boron, as well as, composite electroless nickel processes with co-deposit materials such as PTFE and silicon carbide for certain applications.  All of our electroless nickel concentrates are 100% performance tested prior to shipment.

Armed with the ability to custom formulate, we remain the technology leader in formulating electroless and electrolytic nickel products.

OM Group is dedicated to helping you improve your product performance while creating efficiencies that can lower production costs.  Our worldwide network includes manufacturing, product development and technical support centers in the United States, Europe, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and the People's Republic of China, allowing us to respond quickly to customer needs.

OMG's commitment to quality extends to our concern for the world around us.  Our operations are certified to conform to the ISO9001 quality management system standard, and many are certified under the ISO14001 environmental management system standard.  All manufacturing is done in segregated tanks, and Statistical Process Control (SPC) procedures are used to ensure lot traceability, along with optimal quality and performance.  We meet our commitment through continuous improvement in safety, health, environmental, and product stewardship performance, using the principles and management practices of the chemical industry Responsible Care initiative.
