Rolled lead anodesLonger service life for your tankhouse.
Since 1967 we have manufactured lead anodes for electrowinning, plating and stainless steel production – exclusively by rolling, and with recycling of your spent anodes.

Anodes for electrowinning
For the electrowinning of zinc, copper and nickel we supply anodes tailored to your electrolysis process.
- Lead-silver (PbAg)
- Zinc electrowinning
- Lead-calcium (PbCa)
- Copper electrowinning
- Special anodes & cathodes
- to your specification
Tell us the metal, cell geometry and current density – we will specify alloy and format for you.
Anodes for plating & finishing
Anodes for hard chrome plating, galvanising, anodising and other electrochemical processes. Alloy and workmanship determine the quality of your surface.
- Hard chrome plating and electroplating processes
- Galvanising and chrome plating of carbon steels
- Copper foil production
- Homogeneously lead-lined and tinned steel brackets and contacts
Anodes for stainless steel production
For pickling stainless steel we supply anodes and electrodes that withstand the aggressive conditions in the pickling bath.
- Anodes for electrolytic pickling
- Current feeds and contact parts
- Replacement and refurbishment of existing anodes
Why rolled instead of cast
Our lead anodes and anode blades are produced exclusively by rolling. This creates a dense, homogeneous grain structure and a longer service life than cast anodes.
Stable processes
Uniform wear and consistent quality in your production.
Cleaner baths
Less contamination of the electrolyte.
Energy use
Optimised current flow for efficient operation.
Availability
Less downtime, longer replacement intervals.
Full-service anode recycling
We take back your spent anodes and return the material to new anodes. This saves resources and reduces your costs.
- Take-back and logistics from your tankhouse to Goslar
- Processing of new and recycled metal
- On-site support with process optimisation
Frequently asked questions about anodes
Which anode alloy do I need?
Lead-silver anodes are generally used for zinc electrowinning and lead-calcium anodes for copper electrowinning. The right alloy depends on electrolyte, current density and cell geometry – we will advise you.
What is the advantage of rolled anodes?
Rolling creates a dense, homogeneous grain structure. This results in a longer service life and more stable processes than cast anodes.
Do you take back spent anodes?
Yes. Through our recycling programme we take back spent anodes and return the lead to new anodes. More than 330,000 lead anodes have been recycled so far.
