Ace Anodizing Expands its Type III Hard Coat Capabilities

Ace Anodizing & Impregnating Inc. (Hillside, Ill.) has increased the capabilities of its Type III hard coat anodizing process through the facility expansion it completed late in 2019.

Having noticed an increase in RFQ’s for large-part Type III anodizing, Ace conducted a marketplace analysis and found this need was going largely unaddressed. Furthermore, conducting improvements on its hard coat line would allow the company to increase the throughput and flexibility of several process tanks on the line.

With this knowledge in mind, Ace expanded its Type III hard coat anodizing, Class I and Class II black line — now up to 282 inches by 38 inches by 60 inches where the company could previously only work with parts up to 150 inches long — to become one of the few companies on the market with capability for hard coat anodizing of large parts.

“Ace Anodizing & Impregnating Inc. has once again invested in the necessary improvements in order to keep pace with market demands and our clients’ evolving requirements,” Mike Battaglia, VP of sales and marketing at Ace Anodizing & Impregnating Inc., says. He went on to say “our focus continues to be on our customer’s needs, and . . . we [will] continue providing exceptional service while keeping our employees safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.”
