The SIFCO Process
With over 50 metal and alloy solutions to meet the most demanding selective plating applications.
The SIFCO Process® has been utilized for over 50 years on both OEM components and on parts requiring refurbishment in the aerospace, oil and gas, power generation and general industry.
Take a look at the video and watch the SIFCO process in action.
Selectro brings a dedicated Selective Electro-Plating service to the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Coromandel areas.
We are pleased to be the exclusive license holders for SIFCO ASC for these regions and all our technicians hold current “Certifcates of Demonstration” issued by the SIFCO ASC agents for Australasia.
Purpose Built Workshops
Our qualified technicians work from their Matamata based workshop which has been set up for the sole purpose of Selective Electro-plating.
From here they can meet all your repair requirements and ensure a fast turnaround.
You can either deliver or courier your metal components to us and after carrying out the necessary work we will send your items back in protective packaging suited to your requirements.
It’s a quick and hassle-free process for you! Call us now and set up a customer account ready for when you need us.
Fully Mobile Service
In some circumstances the component requiring repair may be too large and awkward to transport, or it may be very expensive to dismantle and need a part of building to be demolished or dismantled to get it lifted out.
We provide a professional mobile service where we can bring our equipment to the work site and carry out the repair with the minimum of dismantling and disruption.
This in situ repair option can reduce equipment “downtime” drastically while providing a very cost-effective solution for you and your customers. Call us now for a FREE no obligation quote and discover what’s possible and how much time and money you could save on your project.

*IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:
We do not do any tank plating as our process was developed to repair or bring enhanced properties to specific and localised areas of metal components.
We are unable to plate for decorative purposes onto domestic or craft type items. All car and motorbike restoration projects should be referred to specialist tank platers. Please refer to our gallery to view examples of our work.
