Services
Electroplating
Electroplating applies a thin metallic layer to conductive parts, enhancing corrosion resistance, conductivity, and wear durability. We specialize in zinc, cadmium, tin, and hard chrome plating for industrial components. Our process ensures precise adherence to specifications, meeting aerospace, electronics, and construction industry standards.
Powder Coating
Powder coating delivers a durable, high-quality finish using electrostatically charged powder cured under heat. Our facility offers a wide range of RAL, metallic, and textured colors for industrial applications. The process ensures 95% material efficiency and compliance with environmental regulations.
Zinc Plating
Zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance for hardware, construction products, and mechanical parts. We offer clear, bronze, or black chromate finishes, with clear chromate meeting European trivalent standards for environmental safety.
Hard Chrome Plating
Hard chrome plating adds a durable, low-friction surface to parts exposed to wear and abrasion. Ideal for cylinders, mining equipment, and industrial machinery, our process handles parts up to 4,000 lbs with precision and longevity.
Grinding Services
Surface and cylindrical grinding achieve tight tolerances on steel and stainless steel components. Our equipment accommodates parts up to 1,000 lbs, ensuring flatness and dimensional accuracy for critical industrial applications.
