About

ERLEN has been on the market since 2000. All our activities are based on top quality work and materials. We are partners in corrosion protection of metal parts and components. Our main activity is surface anticorrosive treatment of metals – galvanizing. We deal with hot-dip galvanizing and as the only one in the Czech Republic also with thermal-diffusion galvanizing.

We have extensive experience in hot dip galvanizing of structures, frames, brackets and drills for solar, photovoltaic, agrivoltaic and carport systems.

For our regular and new customers, the company constantly monitors the development of domestic coating prices and strives to offer customers competitive prices even compared to large concerns and maximum operability.
