“Green and 100% Recyclable”
Chrome parts for the automotive Industry by Dourdin SAS

Chrome-plated decorative parts are widely used by car designers to create a unique design in the automotive industry. Bright, Mat or Satin chrome finishes are frequently applied to brand insignia, model names, and a wide variety of interior and exterior components, providing a luxurious finish that car owners enjoy. However, there’s a catch; the process used to produce these parts has had a negative impact for years.

At Dourdin group, we care for the planet and have offered Trivalent chroming in 2007, and since 2022, Green Chrome is part of our global strategy to reduce the carbon impact of our productions and achieve carbon neutrality. We started in by supplying parts with Cr3 and since 2022, we have been producing chrome-plated decorated parts 100% free of Cr6+ (etching bath). We even have a dedicated Green Chrome production line at our Portuguese plant, DOURECA. This Green Chrome production line also utilizes solar electricity from solar panels located on the roof of the factory, enabling us to further reduce the carbon footprint of these chrome parts. With this specific production line, today we are producing chrome parts that are ‘100% FREE Cr6+ & GREEN energy‘.
