PEP electroplates thousands of different parts for Sound Leisure Ltd, which supplies classically styled jukeboxes, digital jukeboxes and digital foreground music systems with a broad client base at home and overseas. Many of Sound Leisure’s internal components are chrome plated for surface protection against corrosion, as well as for aesthetic reasons.

Sound Leisure’s Phil Paterson commented: “Our customers spend longer looking at the inside of our machines than they do the exterior. When our products have a typical 10-12 year life span, we need to ensure the surfaces maintain a superb appearance for as long as possible, and PEP, with whom we've worked for about 18 years, ensures that happens with its first class quality."

PEP also ensures that Sound Leisure parts achieve their quality and legal requirements, such as the new WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) directive and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive.

As well as an excellent finish, the new process means a safer working environment. With the hexavalent chrome, fortnightly mist checks had to be completed to monitor and ensure health and safety performance.

PEP also offers powder painting, pre-treatment including chromating, iron and zinc phosphate and blasting. Electroplating processes include zinc, nickel and chrome plating, anodising as well as tin plating and copper plating.
