                                              in that field we supply anodes for the
                                              jewellery industry but electro plating is
                                              also used in the steel industry for Zinc
                                              plating and Tinplating of steel strip on a
                                              roll (coil) like Tosyali Toyo and Erdemir.
                                              Other fields are the corrosion protection
                                              of steel structures like oil and gas
                                              pipelines, oil rigs and for us an important
                                              one, offshore windfarms. The next fields
                                              is one we all know, anodes for water
                 industries, were we have a strong focus on   treatment, I mean water treatment in
                 the electro plating industry. We help our   general and to name a few examples,
                 customers improve their production output   electro chlorination, electro oxidation and
                 by supplying custom made anodes tailored   electro dialysis. Another application of our
                 to their needs with the ultimate goal to   product is mining which is again divided in
                                              2 segments, ore mining and urban mining,
