Choose plating equipment that suits your business needs Examine your business needs before you purchase plating equipment. If you know you're not going to provide your clients with brushed finishes, there's no need to spend your money on that equipment. Instead, spend your money on the plating equipment you'll use to improve your business and your profits.

I recommend:  Walgren Company can meet all of your plating equipment needs, including copper, chrome or nickel plating equipment. Mesa West, Inc. has wet plating systems, automatic line plating systems and metal plating systems to meet all of your plating needs.

Keep plating kits on hand so you're always prepared Stock up on a supply of plating kits so you've always got what you need on hand. Working with plating kits provides you the assurance that you'll always have what you need to create the plated finish you and your customers desire.

I recommend:  Caswell has plating kits that include all of the chemicals and containers you need for a variety of plating finishes. Dalmar Plating and Electroforming has plating kits for tank plating or combination plating finishes.

Consider a variety of plating supplies in your inventory Think about the type of plating you do, the supplies you have and the supplies that need to be routinely replenished. Setting up the systems for plating means you need containers, chemicals and piping or tubing while maintaining your plating business means replenishing the chemicals for a variety of plating finishes and only occasionally replacing damaged tubing or containers.

I recommend:  Allied Plating Supplies stands prepared to meet all of your metal plating equipment and supply needs with barrels, dryers and controllers. Goad Company has plating materials such as vibrating mass finishing tools, waste reduction equipment and all the tubing and piping you could imagine.
