About GTO

Founded in 1968, GTO Plating is an electrolytic galvanizing company with locations in ‘s-Heerenberg and ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Our 120 employees passionately strive to provide you, our customer, with the best service every day. With our wide range of innovative galvanizing techniques and our dedication to quality, we set the standard in Europe. We set high expectations for ourselves.

Family business

GTO Plating is a true family business. The founder’s son and daughter have recently taken over the leadership. Our lines of communication are short, and we form a close-knit team. We are proud of what we have achieved together and aspire to even greater accomplishments. We have a long-term vision, with the continuity of our company being paramount. Short-term gains are not our focus, as they do not align with our values of innovation and sustainable quality.

A major and comprehensive player

We galvanize forty million meters of pipes per year at our ‘s-Hertogenbosch location. In addition, we galvanize nearly 20 million kilograms of diverse products annually at our ‘s-Heerenberg location. GTO Plating serves customers in various sectors, including automotive, hydraulics, construction, plumbing & heating, and machinery and equipment manufacturing. Therefore, we most likely have the best solution for your galvanizing needs!

“We galvanize 100,000 kilograms of nails per week.”

Our people make the difference

Passion for perfection is what sets us apart. Do you have a complex question? Do you have a large volume of products that need galvanizing? Do your products need to be delivered within a short time frame? We will rise to the challenge together. Over the past 55 years, we have accumulated an unparalleled wealth of knowledge and experience. Additionally, we have our own chemists who always collaborate and develop solutions with you. We are flexible, customer-oriented, and solution-focused without ever compromising on quality. It’s in our DNA. We simply cannot do it any other way.
