Plating and polishing in one facility
Olymco’s Canton facility brings several plating lines, an in-house polishing department, and a lab together. The finishing range includes bright and black chrome, nickel, stainless steel treatments, and powder coating.
By Olymco’s own account, its management brings more than a century of combined plating experience and stays hands on, from answering the phone to the finished parts leaving the plant.
For a buyer evaluating the shop, the next step is to match the process to the part. Review the finishing capabilities with your alloy, dimensions, lot quantity, and required specification in mind.
