OUR FACILITY

A Specialist Facility Built
for Demanding Industries

Untitled_edited.png

Founded in 1977, we specialise in producing quality finishes to an extremely high standard.  Since 2007 our core business has been the plating of aluminium components in cadmium over electroless nickel for the defence and aerospace sectors.  This specialised commercial work has complimented the technical plating for which Russell Labs earned its reputation back in the 1980’s.
 

Russell Labs is unique amongst its competitors in being able to offer high volume commercial work as well as retaining that traditional “Jobbing Shop” service for small volume technical work. 

Russell Laboratories provides advanced plating and finishing services to many industries such as Aerospace and Defence, Automotive, Medical,  Electronics, Cosmetic Work and General Engineering.
