From powder coating and plating to anodising, aluminium surface treatments, silk screening, and laser engraving, we offer tailored solutions to meet your exact specifications.
What Is Metal Finishing?
Metal finishing refers to a variety of processes applied to the surface of metal parts to improve their properties. These treatments can:
Prevent Corrosion
Improve Wear Resistance
Enhance Visual Appeal
Add Branding or Identification
Prepare Surfaces for Bonding, Painting, or Further Processing
We work with a wide range of metals including aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel, brass, and copper.
Our Metal Finishing Capabilities
We offer a full suite of finishing techniques to suit your project’s needs:
Powder Coating
A durable, eco-friendly coating applied electrostatically and cured under heat. Powder coating is available in a wide range of colours and textures, ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Plating
Plating involves applying a thin layer of metal—such as nickel, chrome, or zinc—onto the surface of a component to improve corrosion resistance, conductivity, and appearance. It’s widely used in electronics, automotive, and decorative applications.
Anodising
Anodising is an electrochemical process that increases the thickness of the natural oxide layer on aluminium surfaces. It enhances corrosion resistance, surface hardness, and allows for vibrant colour finishes while maintaining a metallic look.
Aluminium Surface Treatments
We offer specialised treatments for aluminium including etching, brightening, and conversion coatings to improve adhesion, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. These treatments are ideal for architectural, aerospace, and consumer-grade aluminium products.
Polishing & Buffing
Achieve a smooth, mirror-like finish for decorative or functional purposes. Ideal for stainless steel and aluminium parts used in retail, hospitality, and consumer products.
Silk Screening
Add logos, labels, or graphics directly onto metal surfaces using high-quality inks. Silk screening is perfect for branding, product identification, and instructional markings on enclosures, panels, and signage.
Laser Engraving
Create permanent, high-precision markings on metal surfaces. Laser engraving is ideal for serial numbers, barcodes, logos, and custom designs. It offers excellent detail and durability without damaging the base material.
