VIETNAM DRAGON PLATING TECHNOLOGY JOINT STOCK COMPANY – DRAGON – AAA

FORGING A NEW ERA OF PLATING TECHNOLOGY

THE CHALLENGE AND THE VISION FOR CHANGE

A. The Problems with Traditional Plating

The plating and surface treatment industry forms the backbone of mechanical engineering and supporting industries. However, traditional plating technologies are plagued by fundamental challenges that create significant inherent risks:

  • Pollution and Toxicity: Traditional plating processes often necessitated the use of Cyanide in the copper undercoat and bright copper steps to achieve adequate adhesion on zinc substrates. This highly toxic chemical creates immense wastewater treatment challenges and an unsustainable environmental burden.
  • Inefficiency and High Cost: The lengthy, multi-step procedures are energy and time-intensive, leading to high operating costs that hinder the competitiveness of Vietnamese businesses in the global market.
  • Inconsistent Quality: Older technologies are prone to external variables, resulting in uneven coating thickness and poor adhesion, especially in mass production.

B. The Genesis of Dragon – AAA: A Different Mindset

Dragon – AAA was founded not merely to offer plating services, but to radically and fundamentally improve these outdated technologies. We recognized that for Vietnam’s supporting and mechanical industries to flourish, it must begin with optimizing product surface quality—a critical yet often overlooked factor that determines final durability and performance.

Our guiding principle is a strong focus on Research & Development (R&D), drawing directly from real-world production challenges. Dragon – AAA has transformed its factory floor into a living laboratory, continuously researching, improving, and inventing entirely distinct surface treatment technologies that far surpass current international market solutions.

 

DIFFERENTIATED TECHNOLOGY – DRAGON – AAA’S OUTSTANDING R&D ACHIEVEMENTS

Dragon – AAA proudly breaks away from traditional frameworks, creating proprietary technological solutions that comprehensively address issues of quality, environment, and cost. These are solutions that even developed nations have yet to implement.

A. The Revolutionary Invention: Direct Nickel Plating on Zinc Substrates

Dragon – AAA’s most significant R&D achievement is the successful invention of the Direct Nickel Plating on Zinc technology, available in two systems: the Semiconductor System (Barrel Plating) and the Organic System (Rack Plating). This invention eliminates the reliance on traditional copper undercoating steps, yielding the following revolutionary benefits:

Highlight of Dragon – AAA’s Invention

Description of Differentiated Value

Complete Cyanide Elimination

ENTIRELY ELIMINATES THE 2 COPPER UNDERCOAT AND BRIGHT COPPER PLATING STEPS—which traditionally mandate the use of toxic Cyanide. This positions Dragon – AAA as a pioneer in safe and environmentally friendly plating production in Vietnam.

Process Optimization

REDUCES THE PLATING PROCESS FROM 4 STEPS TO JUST 2 STEPS. This simplifies operation, minimizes the risk of technical errors, and significantly enhances quality stability.

Increased Production Speed

REDUCES BARREL PLATING TIME TO 1/5 compared to traditional plating. This superior speed helps customers meet large orders promptly, shortening the supply chain cycle.

Reduced Operating Costs

MINIMIZES OPERATING COSTS BY AT LEAST 30% due to savings in energy, chemicals, labor, and the elimination of toxic (Cyanide) wastewater treatment expenses.
  1. Nickel Plating on Zinc Substrates – Semiconductor System (for Barrel Plating):
  • Optimized for small, high-volume components, delivering superior Nickel adhesion and significantly higher corrosion resistance than conventional systems.
  1. Nickel Plating on Zinc Substrates – Organic System (for Rack Plating):
  • Suitable for large, complex parts or those requiring high aesthetics. The organic system allows for precise control over coating thickness, resulting in a smooth, durable, and aesthetically pleasing surface with absolute quality stability.

B. Other Eco-Friendly Surface Treatment Technologies

  • Chemical Polishing for Steel: An advanced chemical polishing method that quickly, uniformly, and effectively levels, cleans, and brightens steel surfaces. This approach minimizes solid waste and optimizes processing time compared to mechanical and electrochemical methods.
 

THE NATIONAL VISION – VIETNAM’S ERA OF ASCENSION

The Mission – Elevating the Industry

Dragon – AAA’s mission extends beyond providing services; it is to improve the entire plating and surface treatment industry in Vietnam. We are committed to:

  • International Quality, Environmental Safety: Implementing cyanide-free plating technology and streamlined, high-efficiency processes, thereby removing the environmental burden for our partners.
  • Global Competitiveness: With operating costs reduced by at least 30% and production time shortened to 1/5, we offer the most competitive plating solutions, empowering the Vietnamese supporting industry products to achieve world-class durability and quality, and compete strongly in the global market.

 

The Vision – Ushering in a New Era

Dragon – AAA aspires to fundamentally improve Vietnam’s entire plating and surface treatment sector to enable the robust development of its supporting industries and mechanical engineering, thereby joining Vietnam in stepping into a new era—the era of ascension.

We believe that by providing technologically proven, safe, and cost-effective solutions, Dragon – AAA will be the strategic partner that helps co-create flawless, time-resistant, and eco-friendly industrial products, contributing to the nation’s overall growth.

Dragon – AAA – Differentiated by Research, Superior in Technology, and Driven by a Vision to Soar.
