Products Finishing Magazine Names Anoplate a 2016 Top Shop

Anoplate Top Shops Award from Products Finishing Magazine

CINCINNATI, Ohio – Anoplate has been recognized once again as one of the highest-performing metal finishing shops in North America, according to the 2016 industry benchmarking survey conducted by Products Finishing magazine. The publication, a trusted authority in surface finishing since 1938, evaluated hundreds of operations across a broad range of technical and business performance metrics.

The benchmarking study measured excellence in four key areas: Current Finishing Technology, Finishing Practices and Performance, Business Strategies and Results, and Training and Human Resources. Only the top 50 finishing operations nationwide qualified for the prestigious Products Finishing Top Shops list. Anoplate earned this ranking for both 2015 and 2016, placing us among a very select group of metal finishing companies recognized for consistency, capability, innovation, and operational excellence.

“Anoplate has established itself as one of the best finishing operations in the industry,” said Tim Pennington, editor of Products Finishing magazine. “The criteria were extremely stringent, and only operations that excelled in all areas made the list. Anoplate is in rare air when it comes to finishing operations.”
