Global Reach, Local Support With a 40+ year legacy, ISO 9001:2008 certification, and a 44,000-square-foot headquarters housing manufacturing, R&D, and support, there is a value proposition for sales motions focusing on complete lifecycle support and regional service for metal finishing operations.

Financial and Market Position Revenue in the mid-range of 50 to 100 million and a niche focus on zinc and zinc alloy plating, EN, and decorative processes, combined with employee-owned culture, can be leveraged to target mid-market manufacturers seeking stable, customer-centric suppliers with aligned incentives.
