Vapormatt offers subcontract surface finishing services

Automotive surface treatment specialist Vapormatt has launched its new 'Contract Process Services' concept, with the first service centre having been set up in Gloucester.

The surface treatment and processing of wire, cable and strip materials, as well as basic component refurbishment are also on offer.
