PLATING

Privately owned and operated by the Kuntz family since 1948, KEI is North America’s most advanced plating facility boasting 2 of the industry’s largest computer-automated and high-volume plating lines and 1 development / small volume plating line.  All plating lines produce a long-lasting and highly decorative finish using a combination of copper, quad nickel, micro-discontinuous chrome.

For deep and complex designs, we are leaders in auxiliary anode-assist plating.  We specialize in an efficient, once-through plating process for forgings, die castings, investment castings, machine billet and extruded aluminum, steel stampings and castings.

We have perfected selective plating, masking and plugging techniques on some of the most difficult and tolerance-sensitive parts.  The ability to process the most challenging and complex part geometries required by OEM’s and their styling departments makes us a worldwide leader in surface finishing.
