20 years ago - in 2005 - an employee of Saxonia EuroCoin GmbH Galvanik und Ronden made a courageous decision and founded today's Saxonia Galvanik from Saxonia EuroCoin.
At that time, the only alternative would have been to close down the electroplating division. Behind the company's current location in Halsbrücke lies a history dating back to 1612, when silver mining was revived with the founding of the smelter at the Halsbrücke smelting site. When the Halsbrücke and Muldenhütten smelters merged to form VEB Freiberger Bleihütten in 1961, they were incorporated into the newly founded "Albert Funk" Freiberg mining and smelting combine. The processing plant for precious and non-ferrous metals Halsbrücke was created from the precious metal department, the lead goods factory and the metallurgical area of precious metal recycling. After many expansions and realignments, the selective galvanic precious metal coating of connectors began in 1972, which became increasingly important due to the development of microelectronics. Further development in 1975-1980 led to the construction of Plant III on the site of the former "Halser Gut", today's production site, where the electroplating shop moved in at that time.
