What types of industrial components can you coat?
We process a comprehensive range of industrial substrates including die-cast zinc parts, engineered plastics (ABS, Polypropylene, Ultem, Nylon, LCP, Polycarbonate), metals (brass, steel, aluminum), and glass. Our capabilities extend from miniature precision components for electronics and medical devices to larger, complex parts for lighting, hardware, and plumbing industries. With advanced pre-treatment and plasma technologies, we successfully coat even difficult-to-adhere-to materials while maintaining the functional properties critical to your application.
What finishing methods do you offer for industrial applications?
Our industrial coating portfolio includes vacuum metallizing with thermal and UV basecoating systems, electroplating with over 30 finish options (precious metals, chrome, nickel, architectural finishes), advanced PVD methods (magnetron sputtering, TiN, ZrN, TICN), UV coating for chemical resistance and durability, plasma treatment for adhesion promotion, and precision polishing. We can match finishes across metal and plastic components—critical for electronic, medical, and hardware assemblies. All processes are available with ROHS-compliant formulations.
How quickly can you turn around industrial coating projects?
Our in-house custom tooling design and build capability, combined with 200,000+ sq.ft. of production space operating 24-5, enables us to move parts from sampling to full production in half the normal lead times. We handle trailer loads of material daily while maintaining fast turnaround on both prototype and high-volume runs. For most applications, we offer free sampling services to validate finish specifications before committing to production. Our flexible manufacturing system allows us to run over 20 different jobs simultaneously without compromising speed or quality.
Can you handle high-volume industrial production?
Absolutely. Our facility is engineered for high-volume industrial manufacturing with capacity exceeding one million parts per week. Operating 24-5 with dedicated production lines for metallizing, electroplating, PVD, and UV coating, we efficiently process trailer loads daily. Our flexible manufacturing system manages over 20 concurrent jobs while maintaining jewelry-quality consistency. Whether you need hundreds of thousands of plated hardware components, metallized electronic enclosures, or coated medical device parts, our scale and expertise ensure reliable, on-time delivery without sacrificing the precision your application demands.
What quality standards do you maintain for industrial coatings?
We maintain European-quality standards across all finishing processes, with ROHS-compliant formulations available for regulated applications. Our electroplating and metallizing systems are engineered to far outperform standard processes in quality, consistency, and speed. We hold approved supplier status with global manufacturers including major cosmetic companies, demonstrating our ability to meet stringent quality requirements. Each finish undergoes rigorous adhesion testing, and our proprietary UV topcoats provide superior scratch and chemical resistance. For critical applications in electronics, medical devices, and hardware, we offer validation sampling to ensure finishes meet your exact specifications.
Do you offer custom finishing solutions for unique applications?
Innovation is our foundation. We specialize in developing custom finishing solutions tailored to unique industrial challenges. Our separate custom tooling company designs and builds application-specific fixtures, enabling responsive service for specialized parts. We've pioneered advanced techniques including plasma treatment for maintaining flex properties in functional components, precision laser removal for detailed artwork on metallized surfaces, and proprietary topcoat formulations. Whether you're working with challenging materials, need to match finishes across different substrates, or require a completely novel finish, our engineering team collaborates with you to develop solutions that add measurable value to your product.
What industries do you serve with industrial coating services?
We serve diverse industrial sectors including electronics (EMI-RFI shielding, decorative enclosures), medical devices (functional and aesthetic components), plumbing and hardware (matching metal and plastic finishes), automotive (decorative and protective coatings), hi-tech applications (sputtered metals on engineering plastics), and lighting (complex large parts requiring specialized treatment). Our 60+ years of experience spans trophy and novelty, jewelry manufacturing, architectural finishing, and precision instrumentation. This broad expertise allows us to apply finishing innovations from one industry to solve challenges in another, delivering proven solutions backed by decades of high-volume production knowledge.
How do you ensure finish adhesion on difficult-to-coat materials?
We've developed specialized pre-treatment and plasma treatment processes specifically for challenging substrates like polypropylene, HDPE, and polycarbonate—materials notorious for poor adhesion. Our advanced plasma treatment promotes adhesion while maintaining the flex and springback properties critical for functional parts, avoiding the embrittlement common with standard chemical etching. For vacuum metallizing, we employ sophisticated pre-treatment techniques validated through 60 years of processing difficult materials. Every finish system is engineered for superior adhesion and durability, with proprietary topcoats that protect metallized surfaces from scuffing, scratching, and chemical exposure throughout packaging, assembly, and end-use.
