Service 05 of 08 · Surface Treatment & Finishing

The finish is the first thing your customer sees — and the last line of defence.

Powder coating, plating, anodising, and passivation — the finish that protects and sells the part.

A precise part with a poor finish still fails in the field. Corrosion, wear, and a cheap-looking surface undo the work that went into the geometry.

We finish in-house and through audited partners — powder coating, plating, anodising, passivation, and blasting — matched to the material and the environment the part will live in.

Matched colours, controlled coating thickness, and documented processes mean the finish looks right and lasts as long as the part underneath.

Stage by stage

What we actually do

01

Preparation

Degreasing, shot-blasting, or etching to give the coating something to key into.

Masking

Critical surfaces and threads are masked so tolerances are preserved.

03

Application

Powder coat, plate, anodise, or passivate to the specified system and thickness.

04

Inspection

Coating thickness, adhesion, and finish checked and documented.
