At Global Metal Finishing, we’re always looking forward – constantly pushing the boundaries to stay ahead of industry demands and offer new opportunities for our customers. The latest developments at our metal finishing facilities reflect a clear vision, ensuring we’re not only prepared for the future but also providing greater value to our customers today.

Here’s a look at how we’ve expanded our capacities and introduced new services to continue serving as a trusted metal finishing partner.

Expanding Our Capabilities to Meet Your Needs

Expanded Offerings for Enhanced Services

One of the most exciting developments at GMF is the introduction of a new line dedicated to electroless nickel plating. This addition enhances our ability to serve our customers’ diverse needs. Additionally, we are adding Cerakote to our offerings. These advancements allow us to handle a wider range of projects and provide specialized solutions for various industries.

Precision Laser Engraving

The addition of an 80-watt laser engraver allows us to engrave anodized parts with incredible precision. This new capability enhances the range of services we offer, putting us one step closer to being a true one-stop shop for final product touches. Whether it’s a standalone service or in addition to our coating and finishing processes, laser marking gives our customers more flexibility and customization options in their projects.

New Paint Booth for Faster Turnarounds

A new paint booth is coming to our shop, which will allow us to prime parts after chemical conversion or anodizing. This new feature will ensure that we can meet the 24 to 72-hour window required for priming parts, delivering superior quality and meeting the tight deadlines our customers demand.

Introducing New Services with the Future in Mind

At GMF, we stay ahead by strategically planning how to expand our service offerings. Introducing new metal finishing processes is never a simple task—it requires thorough research, detailed planning, and a highly regulated approach to implementation. We take the time to lay the groundwork, build the necessary infrastructure, and secure the required certifications well before a customer need arises.

This forward-thinking approach ensures we’re fully equipped to meet our customers’ needs when the moment comes. If we didn’t invest in preparing for growth and future capabilities, we might miss out on key opportunities to deliver exactly what our customers require. Instead, our preparation allows us to seize these opportunities, building valuable partnerships along the way.

This reinforces a key principle at GMF: staying ahead of customer needs is critical to our success. It’s not just about addressing today’s challenges—it’s about thinking five steps ahead to anticipate what our customers will need in the weeks, months, and years to come.

Our approach to growth is both intentional and organic. We listen closely to our customers, build strong relationships, and adapt to their evolving needs. Rather than waiting for opportunities to come to us, we prepare for them. Every step we take is deliberate, thoughtful, and always aimed at better serving our customers.

Training and Growing by Investing in Our People

It is important to note that Global Metal Finishing’s growth would not be possible without our dedicated team. As we expand our capabilities, we’re committed to ensuring that our operators are trained and equipped to handle new processes. Sometimes, that means bringing in outside experts; other times, it means designating a team member to become a subject matter expert in a particular area. 

For example, members of our team recently underwent OSHA HAZWOPER training, which is essential for managing hazardous waste in a safe, compliant manner. This training empowers our team, giving them confidence in their roles, and knowing they are operating within a framework of safety and compliance.

Building On Our Culture of Continuous Improvement

At GMF, stepping out of our comfort zone is built into our culture. We constantly push ourselves to be better, to explore new opportunities, and to find innovative ways to serve our customers. Our vision drives us to take calculated risks, embrace new opportunities, and grow in ways that make sense for our customers and our business. 

We’re confident in our processes, compliance, and, most importantly, our people. Stepping outside our comfort zone means we’re ready for whatever comes next. The GMF team can’t wait to see what we can accomplish next and how we can better serve our customers tomorrow, next year, and beyond.
