Modercromo's specialized departments

Modercromo operates several specialized departments, each dedicated to specific and fundamental phases of the production process to ensure the highest quality of chrome bars and tubes:

Grinding department

This department deals with the accurate preparation of the surface of bars and tubes, through precision grinding processes. The aim is to obtain a smooth and uniform surface, free from imperfections, which can ensure optimal adhesion during the subsequent chrome plating phase. Grinding is essential to ensure the final quality of the product and its durability over time.

Chromium plating

Chrome plating is carried out using both continuous production lines and dedicated tanks, where the bars and tubes are immersed in galvanic baths. This process allows for the deposition of a uniform layer of chromium, giving the surfaces wear and corrosion resistance properties and improving their aesthetic appearance. The different chrome plating methods allow the treatment to be adapted to the technical specifications required by each customer order.

Finishing department

After chrome plating, the bars and tubes pass to the finishing department, where operations are carried out to perfect the surface. Here, action is taken to remove any residual imperfections, polish and ensure optimal surface characteristics for subsequent use, especially in the production of stems for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, which require high standards of precision and performance.

Packing and shipment department

Once all the processing is completed, the chrome bars and tubes are subjected to a careful packaging process aimed at protecting them during the transport and handling phases in the warehouse. The packaging can be made with protective plastic sheaths or cardboard tubes, according to the specific needs of each Customer, to ensure maximum safety and integrity of the product. In addition, the bundles are consolidated using lifting straps or inserted into sturdy wooden crates, so as to meet any logistical needs and ensure proper management during shipping to any destination.

Thanks to this complex organization and care in every single step, Modercromo ensures high-quality and reliable products, responding precisely to customer requests.

Lean

Modercromo adopts LEAN practices

At Modercromo, we have introduced the LEAN Manufacturing method to make our production processes increasingly efficient, controlled and value-oriented for the customer. The LEAN approach allows us to continuously analyze and improve each stage of processing, with the aim of eliminating waste, optimizing flows, and ensuring high, repeatable quality standards.

What it means for our customers
The adoption of the LEAN method translates into concrete advantages:

More reliable delivery times

Greater stability and repeatability of processes

Tighter control of coating quality

Reduction of production inefficiencies

Increased management capacity even on complex or urgent batches

Through continuous improvement and staff involvement, Modercromo strengthens its organization every day to offer an increasingly precise, competitive service oriented to the needs of industry.

The LEAN method is not just an organizational model, but an integral part of our corporate culture: doing better, every day.
