Our Approach to Plating
We know that no two projects are exactly alike. That’s why we take a collaborative approach with every client, working closely with your team to determine the most effective, efficient way to achieve your surface finishing goals. From start to finish, we put precision, quality, and customer satisfaction at the center of everything we do.
And unlike many plating companies, we never charge extra for certification. We believe that standing behind our work should come standard. Clients shouldn’t have to pay extra for us to prove the quality of our finishes.
Large-Scale Plating Services for Industry
Our services are designed for businesses, not small personal projects. We don’t handle individual jobs like a handful of screws or small connectors. Instead, we focus on high-volume, industrial-scale plating for companies that need dependable, consistent results. We regularly handle large runs for industries including automotive, electronics, power generation, and heavy equipment.
Tin Plated Components
Matte and Bright
Tin plating is one of our most in-demand services, thanks to its ability to resist corrosion and provide superior solderability. We provide both matte tin finishes and bright tin finishes, applied to parts of all shapes and sizes.
We plate:
- Electrical connectors
- Fasteners and screws
- Power distribution parts
- High-volume components for automotive and industrial applications
Using either barrel plating for large runs of smaller parts or rack plating for complex or larger items, we ensure complete coverage and long-lasting performance.
Copper Plated Components
Copper plating provides excellent conductivity and is often the first choice for parts used in electrical and energy systems. Our copper finishes are smooth, consistent, and applied with care to match exact specifications.
Examples of copper-plated products include:
- Connectors and terminals
- Electrical lugs
- Bus bars prior to further finishing
- Components used in high-voltage systems
When conductivity and reliability matter, copper plating is a tried-and-true solution.
Specialty Coatings and Treatments
While tin and copper are the heart of what we do, we also provide coatings and treatments that enhance performance even further:
- Bright Dip Services – Giving parts a polished, corrosion-resistant finish.
- Dart 121 Coating – Offering added protection and durability.
- Castrol Aqua 616 Coating – Designed for specialized industrial applications.
These services allow us to tailor solutions to specific industries and applications, all while maintaining our dedication to quality.
Bus Bar Plating
As industries across the country expand their power distribution needs, bus bar plating has become one of our specialties. We handle copper and aluminum bus bars up to 14 feet in length at high volume. Both tin and copper finishes are available, providing excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity.
Whether your bus bars are going into automotive production lines, renewable energy systems, or heavy-duty power distribution setups, our plating ensures lasting performance.
Rack Plating and Barrel Plating
Different jobs require different techniques, and we offer both rack plating and barrel plating to fit your project’s needs.
- Rack plating is ideal for large, heavy, or complex components that require precision coverage without contact marks.
- Barrel plating is efficient for high-volume production of smaller parts, such as fasteners, connectors, or screws.
Both methods are backed by our strict quality controls, ensuring reliable results no matter the scale.
Electrical Lug Plating and Screw Plating
Lug plating and lug screw plating are essential for safe, efficient electrical connections. These parts need durable, conductive finishes that won’t corrode or compromise over time. At Future Finishes, we provide tin and copper plating for lugs and screws, ensuring they can withstand the stress of installation and years of service in the field.
By using precise rack plating or barrel plating methods depending on the size and complexity of the parts, we guarantee uniform finishes across every batch.
From plating thousands of components at once to processing oversized bus bars up to 14 feet long, we have the equipment, expertise, and staff to meet demanding schedules without compromising quality.
Consultation and Certification
We also provide electroplating consultation, helping clients identify the right process, materials, and finishes for their specific applications. Our decades of industry experience mean we’ve seen just about every challenge, and we know how to deliver solutions that work.
And when it comes to certifications, our policy is simple: we don’t charge for them. We believe our customers shouldn’t have to pay extra for us to justify the quality of our work. Certification should always come standard.
