Step 1: Receiving & Inspection

The moment your parts arrive, our trained team performs a detailed inspection to verify the shipment against all customer specifications. We ensure that your parts are ready for processing, and nothing is left to chance before finishing begins.

 What we check:

  • Part count and condition
  • Material compatibility
  • Job requirements and finishing specs

Step 2: Preparation & Cleaning

Clean parts are critical to proper adhesion and a durable finish. Our multi-stage cleaning process removes oils, dirt, rust, and other contaminants that can compromise quality.


Why it matters:
Thorough preparation ensur
es optimal plating adhesion and consistent surface quality—essential for industries that demand performance and reliability.

STEP 3: PLATING

This is where our advanced, automated plating equipment goes to work. Depending on your requirements, we apply the appropriate finish—whether it's zinc plating, chemical films, tin, or anodizing—with tight process control and uniformity.

Plating options include:

  • Zinc for corrosion protection
  • Tin for solderability and conductivity
  • Chromate conversion (chemical film) for aluminum protection
  • Anodizing for enhanced surface durability

Step 4: Quality Assurance

Every batch of finished parts goes through a final quality inspection to ensure they meet not only our own high standards but also yours.

What we test for:

  • Thickness and coverage
  • Adhesion and durability
  • Visual appearance and finish consistency

Our goal is zero defects—because your reputation depends on it.

Step 5: Packaging & Delivery

After passing inspection, your parts are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport and delivered on time, ready to perform in your production environment.

Our commitment:

  • Secure packaging
  • On-time delivery
  • Responsive customer service
