The Kanigen® process, where Kanigen stands for KAtalytic NIckel GENeration, was developed by GATX (General American Transport Corporation) during the late 1950s to protect storage tanks for the transport of caustic soda. This represented the first commercialisation of the electroless nickel plating process.
The Kanigen® brand is known worldwide for its superior quality.
