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 104,000 square
foot facility, single location in Central New York State.
Anoplate offers metal finishing
services including plating of copper, nickel, chromium, zinc,
cadmium and tin, various types of anodizing of light metals,
conversion coatings such as passivate 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.
Anoplate's growth phase began
in the early-70's with the arrival of Roy Beechner as Plant Manager
and the purchasing of the former Elmwood Plating Works. The firm's
initial quality manual was issued in January of 1976. Growth
accelerated throughout the 80's. Much of the new growth came
from Fortune 500 firms and their suppliers who demanded more
formalized quality systems and strict compliance with specification
requirements.
As one of the largest and most respected metal finishing companies in the U.S. our 200+ employees are dedicated to the delivery of world class finishing services and products for our customers worldwide. |
