Galvanic and PVD
Two technologies, one single excellence.
A story of enterprise, material and light. Accessori Val Vibrata opens a new chapter in its history: the launch of the in-house Galvanic department and the PVD Line, two complementary departments that combine technology, responsibility and beauty. A step forward in process control, finish quality and vision for the future.
Two technologies, one single excellence. The new Galvanic department and the PVD Line represent the natural evolution of Accessori Val Vibrata's path: combining artisan experience with industrial innovation, while preserving the aesthetic sensibility that has always distinguished the brand.
Accessori Val Vibrata's galvanic process preserves the charm of time-honoured processes, combined with the precision of modern controls. Every finish is the result of a balance between artisan expertise and industrial technology.
Gold plating, nickel plating, silver plating, gunmetal and deep blacks: surfaces come to life through controlled baths, continuous inspections and a constant pursuit of chromatic uniformity. The result is a vivid, authentic lustre, capable of lasting over time.
Every accessory becomes an expression of technical elegance and tangible quality. Electroplating is a silent art that reflects light and expertise.
With the new PVD Line, Accessori Val Vibrata introduces a physical vacuum deposition technology that combines resistance, aesthetics and sustainability. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) creates an extremely thin yet highly resistant metallic film that maintains its brilliance and colour tone over time.
Finishes that embody the modernity of metal, designed for accessories destined for high-end fashion. Every tone is carefully calibrated, balancing technical precision and aesthetic refinement.
PVD is an eco-sustainable process, free from harmful substances. A technology that interprets beauty as a lasting value.
Two different paths, one single goal: giving shape to light. Galvanic and PVD are not alternatives, but two complementary tools, each with its own identity and advantages.
| Feature | Galvanic | PVD |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Electrochemical process | Physical vacuum deposition |
| Main function | Aesthetic and protective finish | High-performance technical protection |
| Aesthetic appearance | Wide variety of colors and finishes | Modern, uniform and highly stable finishes |
| Scratch resistance | Good | Very high |
| Wear resistance | Medium / good | High |
| Oxidation resistance | Good | Very high |
| Color stability | Good | Superior over time |
| Coating thickness | Thicker | Very thin and compact |
| Environmental impact | Variable depending on processes used | Generally lower |
| Applications | Fashion, leather goods, metal accessories | Fashion, luxury, technical components, furniture |
| Aesthetic customization | Very broad | More technical and controlled |
| Process control | Electrochemical parameters | High-precision vacuum parameters |
| Added value | Aesthetic versatility | High performance and durability |
Together, these two technologies expand the creative and technical possibilities of the brands that choose Accessori Val Vibrata.
Galvanic and PVD are different yet complementary processes that allow for selecting the most suitable solution to achieve the optimal balance between quality, resistance and aesthetics. Both carried out in-house by Accessori Val Vibrata, they ensure direct process control, production continuity and the utmost attention to sustainability.
For us, quality is not just about aesthetics: it is also about ethics and the environment. Every stage of the production cycle — from galvanic to PVD — is designed to optimize processes, reduce waste, improve production efficiency and ensure greater safety for people and the environment.
- Controlled processes with certified extraction and filtration systems, for a safer and more controlled working environment.
- Responsible management of water and special waste, in compliance with Italian and European environmental regulations.
- Recovery and monitoring of production resources, with focus on reducing waste and operational losses.
- PVD technology developed to ensure high resistance, aesthetic stability and long-term quality continuity.
- In-house production and direct integration of operations, with reduced transport and logistics costs, greater control over quality, timelines and traceability throughout the entire supply chain.
- Investments focused on energy efficiency and continuous improvement of environmental performance.
“We believe in an industry that respects materials, people and the future.”
| ♻️ Clean processes | 🌍 Safe materials | ⚙️ Efficiency and traceability |
|---|---|---|
| Water filtration and recovery | Nickel Free and Chromium VI free finishes | In-house production and total control |
| Emission and consumption control | Certified baths and coatings | Reduction of transport and waste |
Sustainability, technology and beauty: three values that for us mean one thing — authentic Italian quality.
