ABOUT LIFU

Two decades of experience,
focused on reliable finishing.

Plating racks entering an automated production line
Automated handling with dedicated plating racks

LIFU grew from GOLDENLUCK's electroplating department, established in 2005. After more than a decade of production experience, the operation became an independent company in 2018 and moved into the Longxi Electroplating Base.

2005GOLDENLUCK's electroplating department begins building specialist finishing experience.
2018LIFU is established as an independent operation inside a national demonstration electroplating park.
TodayAutomation, colour development and process control support demanding premium projects.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Volume consistency with development agility.

Production is planned around component geometry, material, order size and performance requirements—connecting colour approval, sampling and scalable delivery.

01

Automated volume production

Two automated electroplating lines provide combined daily capacity of approximately 250 racks.

Zinc-alloy process control

Pre-treatment, coating structures and protection systems are refined to address blistering, pitting, colour variation, adhesion and corrosion resistance.

COLOUR & FINISH

A finish is more than a colour.
It is part of the brand experience.

Our technical team adjusts coating structure, gloss, antiquing depth and protective layers to translate a reference sample into a repeatable production standard.

QUALITY CONTROL

Process control for every production batch.

Incoming material, pre-treatment, electroplating, post-treatment and final inspection are controlled as one process, with close attention to appearance, colour consistency, adhesion, corrosion resistance and batch stability.

  • 01Controls aligned with relevant RoHS and REACH requirements
  • 02Colour, gloss and antiquing-depth approval
  • 03Adhesion, corrosion resistance and batch stability management
  • 04Tailored processes for higher test standards or special environments

LABORATORY CONTROL

Laboratory data is another production line for stable plating.

Our laboratory routinely tests and records the main constituents, concentration, pH and replenishment condition of each process solution. Technicians use measured data to control chemical ratios, replenishment timing and operating windows with discipline, rather than relying on experience alone.

From new-bath setup and routine maintenance to abnormal-condition checks, key data is managed against production batches, colour requirements and test results. This data-led approach lets us identify concentration drift and process variation early, then adjust pre-treatment, coating and protective-layer conditions in time—creating a stronger process foundation for colour consistency, adhesion and corrosion resistance.
