We are the world leader in auxiliary anode plating technology. Our use of auxiliary anodes ensures that even the toughest corrosion and performance specifications can be met on the most complex designs. Our finishes can pass 250+ hours CASS when required. In addition, KEI has developed specialized coatings for applications over top of nickel-chrome surfaces. These coatings offer additional protection and endurance for parts exposed to the harshest elements and have been approved by customers such as General Motors, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Nissan and Harley-Davidson.
Quality is our #1 focus. Our reputation as a leader in quality finishing has earned us numerous industry awards. To ensure that quality is maintained, KEI has two of the most sophisticated testing laboratories in the industry. Our Dry lab includes state-of-the-art destructive and non-destructive equipment that measure plating thicknesses, uniformity, and corrosion resistance properties of the finish. Our Wet Lab maintains all plating bath parameters mainly through wet titration and H.P.L.C. (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography). This is supplemented with our laboratory electroplating cells (Hull cells) used to analyze bath plating quality. Other equipment used routinely includes UV/Vis spectrophotometer, pH meter, atomic absorption, and T.O.C. (Total Organic Carbon) analyzer. These analytical tools are a critical part of the day-to-day activities regarding process control.
It is this continuous commitment to quality, to the environment and to our employees that confirms why we are North America's largest and most advanced metal finisher. Our commitment to our customers, our employees, our environment and to the community remains our greatest strength. Let us show you why we are “The best at what we do.”
