With AURUNA® 5750, the business unit Metal Deposition Solutions (MDS) of the Umicore Group now offers an innovative gold-silver electrolyte that appears to be unrivaled in terms of quality in electroplating technology. At the same time, the gold content of only 50 % makes AURUNA® 5750 an extremely cost-efficient solution.
Umicore Galvanotechnik employees explored the historic roof truss of the Heilig-Kreuz-Münster cathedral in Schwaebisch Gmuend. During the exciting tour, they learned more about the 700-year-old wooden beams and enjoyed breathtaking views from the balustrade. The event ended with ice cream in the market square.
Last Thursday, Umicore once again invited residents from the surrounding areas to an information event on site. In a relaxed atmosphere, Managing Director Michael Herkommer took the opportunity to present the company and the projects that have been implemented and are currently underway at the site.
At the end of May, Umicore Galvanotechnik GmbH will lose Erich Arnet, a sales representative who was highly valued for his expertise and friendly manner. After more than 40 years of loyal service, this well-known and respected expert in the industry is taking his well-deserved retirement. Born in Switzerland, he has made a significant contribution to Umicore's success during his impressive career.
Umicore MDS is pleased to announce the introduction of the new AURUNA® product line. This innovative series offers cobalt- and nickel-free hard gold plating that meets the highest quality standards while providing environmental and ethical benefits. With the new AURUNA® line, Umicore is setting a new industry benchmark and is underlining its commitment to sustainable and responsible technologies.
As part of the ‘Encounters between Industry and School’ series organised by Umicore, the chemistry and physics classes of the final year at Parler-Gymnasium now had the opportunity to put some of what they have learned into practice at Umicore. The company welcomed the students and their teachers last week to an exclusive insight into the long-established global company in Schwaebisch Gmuend.
Umicore Electroplating celebrated the 60th birthday of Uwe Wohlfarth with a small gathering. The company thanked him for his many years of loyal and successful service. Managing Director Michael Herkommer emphasised that the birthday honouree has made an important contribution not only through his many years of experience and expertise, but also through his tireless commitment to the company.
