In order to maximize the latest in finishing systems, we recently expanded our finishing facility in Northwest Illinois. Our 200,000 square foot branch operation now houses three complete plating systems, powder coating, vinyl coating and an electropolishing system. Each has earned positive recognition by federal and state Environmental Protection Agencies.
We offer many wire finishes to complete the process. Choose a finishing that best suits your needs.

An industry standard, this finish helps protect the product from corrosion, adds to its functionality and enhances its appearance. Parts up to four feet long can be plated vertically with a nickel thickness of .0001" to .001". Chromium baths are used. Because our laboratory is equipped with, among other tools, a Perkin Elmer Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, we are able to constantly monitor for trace metal analysis.

One of the most exciting multi-colored finishing methods to be introduced in the past 100 years, this system excels beyond conventional liquid finishes by achieving optimum film thickness with a single pass. In addition, it eliminates drips, sags and runs; improves edge coverage; provides greater impact resistance; and upgrades hardness and abrasion resistance.
These characteristics result in energy, labor, production and waste disposal savings. Ultimately, it leads to a more competitively-priced finish than conventional liquid.

Vinyl coating offers another multi-colored finishing option. It is a tough finish with excellent abrasion, corrosion and electrical resistance. Because vinyl plastisols are liquid when at room temperature, the coating can be poured, pumped, sprayed or cast on the material. The result? A finish that also has excellent chemical resistance to saltwater, ethyl alcohol, sodium chloride, bleach, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and acetone.

Stainless steel is very seldom plated, painted or finished in the conventional way. Because we manufacture thousands of items for the Food and Appliance Industry, we developed an electropolishing system for these items. Quite simply, this is an electronically-controlled chemical process that removes surface material leaving a clean, bright finish. Just as importantly, the process removes a great deal of iron contamination and helps create a surface more impervious to potential corrosion.

Products requiring a porcelain finish are shipped to our finishing facility in Northwest Illinois. Depending on your design specifications, this is where fabricated steel, wire forms, and/or cast iron designs undergo a wet spray, dip or dry electrostatic application of porcelain enamel.
Our finishing facility has entered its second decade as an O.E.M. supplier to the Appliance and Barbecue Industry. With a management team in place that records over 100 years of industry experience, our finishing facility is prepared to meet various porcelain enamel needs with complete capabilities for in-house color and porcelain characteristics matching.
