Multi-Flex Plating Competitors

Anoplate was founded by Milt Stevenson, Sr., in 1960 to serve a growing need among what was then a very small, locally based machine shop and tool industry. Anoplate operates from a 120,000 square foot facility, single location in Central New York State. Anoplate offers metal finishing services nationwide including plating of copper, nickel, chromium, zinc, silver, gold, cadmium and tin, various types of anodizing of light metals, conversion coatings such as passivating and phosphating, dry film lubrication, small lot painting, and vacuum impregnation. Anoplate's reputation for quality and workmanship, diversity in process offered, and ability to meet rigid specifications has led it to serve a broad base of industries including aerospace, computers, defense, electronics, medical, optics, and recreation.

Aqua Metals is pioneering sustainable lithium battery and clean metals recycling, creating a low-carbon, circular supply chain for critical minerals. We believe that the key to sustainable energy lies in leveraging the full potential of recycled materials in manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, building a circular supply chain domestically, and minimizing the environmental impact of the clean energy industry. Aqua Metals has developed AquaRefining™, a cleaner metals recycling process that can deliver high-value raw materials back into the battery manufacturing supply chain while reducing emissions and waste streams and creating a safer work environment. AquaRefining replaces chemical catalysts with clean electricity, dramatically lowering emissions and reducing waste streams typical in recycling by as much as 95%. We are the only company that has developed a commercially-proven, sustainable, closed-loop metals recycling process. Aqua Metals is applying its clean, water-based recycling technology principles to build the most cost-efficient recycling solution for lithium-ion batteries that will power the new energy era. Our technology produces higher-quality products at a lower operating cost without the damaging effects of furnaces, chemical waste streams, and greenhouse emissions. https://twitter.com/AquaMetalsInc

Hitemco LLC was established 1974 and is the leading independent provider of diffusion and thermal-sprayed enhanced surfaces. For over 50 years Hitemco has provided outside processing services for leading technology companies to enhance their parts’ critical surfaces to be successful in a full range of applications and environments. In June 2022, the company was acquired by Lincotek Inc. and is now Hitemco LLC, a wholly owned company of Lincotek. This increases Hitemco’s global reach and investment capabilities. Our enhanced surfaces are based on diffusion coatings or thermal spray coatings. Diffusion coatings have proven their value and dependability for many different parts including rocket thruster nozzles, jet engine blades and jet engine afterburner liners. Thermal spray coatings were added to our offerings in the 80s and include plasma, wire and HVOF coatings. This platform, over the past 10 years has been enhanced with extensive in-house precision grinding capability for HVOF coatings. Some examples of our thermal spray applications are HVOF landing gear parts (ODs and IDs), jet engine swirlers, aerospace pistons and actuators, and torque bars. Our customers are from the commercial, military and government markets.
