In 2002, Kanigen Group built an electroless nickel line, taking into account the industry's specific cleanliness requirements, to process ASML's steel casings (stepper wafer machines).
In 2019, this line will be supplemented by an aluminium pre-treatment line, along with a grey room dedicated to the packing of such parts.
