Revenue model

1. Surface Treatment Job Work Services: Galvânica Guarany operates as a third-party metal surface treatment service provider (galvânica para terceiros), offering customized plating and coating services on a job-work basis. Customers send metal parts for treatment, and the company applies protective coatings (zinc, zinc-nickel, PTFE, organometallic, phosphate, nickel) based on specifications. Revenue is generated per job/service order with pricing based on material type, surface area, coating type, and processing requirements.

Core offering

Galvânica Guarany Ltda is a Brazilian metal surface treatment job-shop established in 1968 in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, providing industrial finishing services including electrolytic zinc plating, zinc-nickel alloy coating, PTFE and organometallic polymer coatings, zinc phosphating, electroless nickel plating, and supporting processes such as pickling, dehydrogenation, and oiling. The company serves manufacturers that require corrosion protection, wear resistance, and specialized functional coatings on metal components, with operations certified to ISO 9001:2015 and supported by an in-house laboratory performing salt-spray corrosion testing.

Product overview

Galvânica Guarany is a metal surface treatment service provider offering eight distinct coating and surface treatment processes. The core portfolio centers on electrolytic zinc plating (Zincagem Eletrolítica) and zinc-nickel alloy coatings for cathodic corrosion protection, complemented by advanced polymer coatings (PTFE and Organometallic), chemical conversion coatings (Zinc Phosphate), and electroless nickel plating. Supporting processes include pickling/decarburization and dehydrogenation for hydrogen embrittlement relief. The company operates automated and semi-automated production lines for electroplating and chemical processes, with liquid painting capability via overhead conveyor and curing ovens. Quality assurance is supported by in-house X-ray and magnetic thickness measurement equipment and Salt-Spray testing chambers.

Products and services

• Zincagem Eletrolítica Electrolytic zinc plating applied to metal components to provide sacrificial corrosion protection; serves automotive, fastener, and general metal-mechanical manufacturers.
• Zincagem Eletrolítica + Níquel Electrolytic zinc-nickel alloy coating offering enhanced corrosion resistance versus pure zinc plating, typically specified by automotive-tier and high-specification industrial buyers.
• Revestimento PTFE PTFE-based non-stick / low-friction coating applied to metal parts requiring release, lubrication, or chemical resistance properties.
• Revestimento Polímero Organometálico + PTFE Combined organometallic polymer and PTFE coating delivering enhanced corrosion and release performance on metal substrates.
• Fosfatização de Zinco Zinc phosphating pretreatment used as a corrosion-protection base layer or paint/powder-coating preparation on ferrous metal parts.
• Niquelação Química Electroless nickel plating providing uniform thickness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection on complex geometries and precision components.
• Decapagem / Desidrogenação / Oleoamento Supporting pre- and post-treatment processes — pickling (decapagem), dehydrogenation, and protective oiling — performed as part of the finishing workflow.
• Têmpera Heat treatment (tempering/quenching) service provided as part of the broader metal processing portfolio.

Quantifiable outcome

• Zinc-nickel coating provides approximately 5x greater corrosion resistance compared to standard electrolytic zinc plating with the same deposited layer
