Hard chroming extends the life of any treated product by providing corrosion resistance, increasing surface hardness and easing cleaning procedures. Industrial hard chroming has been around since 1920, and modern techniques were first used successfully by Fink in the USA and Liebreich in Germany. French Engineering Works (FEW) brought chroming technology to Africa to serve the repair needs of the newly mechanised mines of the late 1940s. FEW experienced great success with its hard chroming techniques, and in 1946 a separate company was started to focus solely on the mining service business. It was named Moser Industries. Through Moser Industries commercial chroming became available in the open market in South Africa for use by manufacturers. Moser Industries extends the productive life of rock drills, locomotive and ship engine liners, mine pumps and hydraulic cylinder rods and barrels. One can hardly mention any of these products without at least some components having been chromed by Moser Hardchrome.Moser is a company built on experience and is a proud part of chrome history and the chrome industry in South Africa.Moser is a company built on experience and is a proud part of chrome history and the chrome industry in South Africa.
