Acquisition Synergy Fountain Plating was acquired by Valence Surface Technologies in February 2020, creating an integrated platform for aerospace and defense finishing solutions. This enables cross-selling Fountain’s electrochemical plating capabilities to Valence’s broad customer base and offers opportunities for end-to-end finishing with improved lead times.

R&D Advantage The company hosts expansive metallurgical and chemical laboratories that support ongoing electrochemical R&D, enabling joint development of advanced coatings and corrosion-resistant finishes for high-reliability aerospace and electronics components.

Aerospace Focus With a strong footprint in aerospace and electronics, Fountain Plating can target OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers needing high-precision plating, robust quality assurance, and reliable delivery for critical components.

Quality & Process A commitment to process improvement and quality positions Fountain Plating as a trusted partner for long-term production programs and supplier qualification within aerospace and related industries.

Growth Potential As a mid-sized firm with significant engineering capability and $25–$50 million in revenue, Fountain Plating has room to scale through Valence's platform, pursue cross-sell opportunities, and expand into adjacent markets or geographies.
