HISTORY
Salchi Metalcoat was established in 1993 as Salchi Rhenacoat Srl when the two founding partners, SALCHI Spa, a leading Italian industrial and coil coatings' manufacturer, and Rhenania Chemische GmbH, a leading German packaging and coil coatings' manufacturer - part of the German Altana Group - decided to spin-off into Salchi Rhenacoat Srl their respective activities in the field of coil and packaging coatings.
In 1999, a brand new plant in Burago Molgora (MB, Italy) was started and in 2006, Salchi Rhenacoat Srl changed its name into Salchi Metalcoat Srl.
Today, Salchi Metalcoat employs about 80 people in its plant in Burago Molgora. 30% of the employed people works in R&D and Quality Control. Production is made in a modern plant, complying with the most update production techniques. The company is operating according to the requirements of a Quality System ever since it was established in 1993. The Quality Management System is certified according to UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 standard.
The plant is regularly audited by leading multinational customers.
