An Inside
Look at Imperial Plating Company |
| ORDER
ENTRY
The
first step in the production process is order entry, where all parts
are entered into our computer data system and assigned individual
work orders, job tickets, and job reports for traceability. Each
order is then tagged for processing.
|
| POLISHING AND BUFFING
Parts
that require a high luster or a satin finish may undergo polishing
or buffing. This process enhances the base metal and results in
a higher-quality end product for the customer. After polishing and
buffing has been completed, all parts are degreased and inspected
in preparation for plating.
|
|  BARREL
AND RACK PLATING
Imperial offers both rack and barrel plating. If it's metal, we can plate
it — everything from miniature electronic terminals to 14-foot
channels, from automotive components to continuous hinges, and from
precision hand tools to decorative point-of-purchase displays. Even
more impressive. Imperial offers a variety of finishes needed for
your application. To continue our ever-striving commitment to excellence.
Imperial has invested in our employees through weekly and monthly
incentive programs for all personnel. We have developed a training
program designed to educate our employees in each specific area
of their job.
