Precision Anodizing for Machine Shops and Manufacturers
Machine shops, military and defense, aerospace, packaging and automation, medical, and food equipment. Different prints, the same commitment: finished to spec, back on your date.

The Six Kinds of Buyer We Run For
Everything we run is business to business. There is no retail counter and no consumer work. Parts arrive from a machine shop or from a manufacturer's purchasing desk, with a print attached and a date already promised to somebody further down the line.
The six industries below cover almost everything that comes through the door. They want different things from us, which is worth being honest about instead of claiming one approach serves them all identically.
Machine shops use us as the finishing department they chose not to build. That means full-service Anodizing on customer jobs they quote as complete, a way out when a part is stuck somewhere else and the date is already at risk, and turnaround honest enough that their delivery dates hold. Defense and aerospace work arrives under the specifications on the print, and the value there is a shop that reads a callout carefully and raises a question before the tanks, not after inspection.
Packaging, automation, medical, and food equipment builders come mostly for consistency. They are running the same part again in six months and they need it to match, and that comes down to process control more than to the finish itself. Several of them also come for PTFE impregnated surfaces, because wet lubricants, oil or grease, for example, are not welcome anywhere near their product.
Consistency
Why the Parts Match Six Months Later
A finish is chemistry plus discipline, and the discipline is the part that varies between shops. Tank concentration, temperature, current, immersion time, and racking all drift if nobody is watching them, and every one of those variables shows up in the finished surface.
So they get controlled and checked batch by batch rather than shift by shift, and the recipe for your part gets written down and kept. That is what lets a reorder placed on a Tuesday match the parts we ran in March. Across our repeat customers, that consistency is the thing they are actually buying, more than any individual finish on the services list.

Working With Us, by Industry
Can You Help When a Job Is Already Late Somewhere Else?
Yes, and it is a regular part of the week rather than something we fit in around other work. Tell us what is stuck and the date you are trying to hold, and send the print and the count. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 days, expedites move as fast as same day, and we will tell you before you accept the quote if we cannot hold your date.
Can You Hold a Recurring Production Schedule?
Yes. Packaging and automation customers run repeat orders with us on a set cadence, and pickup and delivery inside 100 miles keeps that loop closed without either side managing freight.
Do You Work With Customers Outside Indiana?
Yes. Work inside the 100 mile radius moves on our trucks. Beyond that, parts ship in and out nationally and run on the same clock once they reach our dock, though the shipping time in each direction is yours to plan around.
Where to go next
The Finishes These Industries Order Most
Different buyers arrive at different pages. Machine shops usually want the Type II page, defense wants the specification pages, and packaging wants the dry-lubricated one. All of them are here.
