Our history

It all began in 1971 with the founding of Jürgen Prasse Galvanotechnik. The focus was on the sale of anodes and cathodes and chemicals for electroplating, as well as the manufacture of smaller electroplating systems.

Galvanex GmbH was founded in 1979 and construction of the building in Albert-Einstein-Straße began. In 1980, the company moved into the new premises and, thanks to the considerably larger storage capacity, the product range in the metal anodes and chemicals sector was expanded, thus ensuring rapid delivery to our customers.

In 1992, the company name was changed to Galva-Metall GmbH, as sales of metal anodes and cathodes increased considerably and became the company’s main focus alongside plant construction. Since then, the customer network at home and abroad has been continuously expanded and the focus on the anode and accessories business has been driven forward.

In 2001, Florian Prasse took over the business from his father and continued to run it successfully until 2020.

Galva-Metall GmbH had already been working with Horst Spreng for many years in his previous role. This customer-supplier relationship gave rise to the idea of taking the collaboration to a new level. Horst Spreng has been the managing partner of Galva-Metall GmbH since 1 March 2020.

Not an easy start, as the entire country came to a standstill a few weeks later due to the pandemic. Galva-Metall GmbH used this time to implement new systems and processes and is therefore better placed than ever to fulfil today’s market requirements.

Today, we are in a position to respond optimally to customer requirements and to customise and package metals.

We would be happy to discuss your requirements with you.
