Markets are constantly in search of more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives for the current manufacturing processes for automotive interiors. AIAG in North America is having a major influence in the development of a shift towards the usage of Cr3 for plastic electroplating instead of Cr6. TAIYO is aware of these changes and has been producing Cr3 parts in mass production for some of the most important OEMs in the industry. TAIYO also produces 100% Cr6 free plated parts for the European market since Feburary 2022 and has taken the lead for sustainable, high-quality plastic plating since then.
