Setting the Standard in Metal Finishing
Operating out of our 200,000-square-foot facility in Wisconsin, Professional Plating offers a full suite of services—including barrel and rack zinc plating, acrylic and epoxy e-coating, and powder coating—all under one roof. Our centralized operation reduces logistical headaches, streamlines production, and enables faster turnaround without sacrificing quality.
It’s this integrated, customer-first approach that sets us apart. As Kerry Behnke, our General Manager, explains:
“Having everything under one roof makes a significant difference for our customers. It reduces shipping costs and saves time since they don’t have to manage multiple suppliers. It’s a level of convenience and efficiency that’s hard to match.”
Driven by Innovation, Efficiency, and Sustainability
Our selection as a top service provider also reflects our commitment to continuous improvement. Over the last 15 years, we’ve invested more than $30 million in facility upgrades, automated systems, and IoT-enabled quality control. These investments allow us to deliver surface finishing that enhances durability, corrosion resistance, and visual appeal—while staying ahead of the latest industry trends.
We also take environmental responsibility seriously. From water conservation and energy-efficient operations to advanced waste treatment systems, we’ve reduced water usage by 30% and continually work to minimize our environmental footprint.
More Than a Vendor—A Trusted Partner
At Professional Plating, we view our role not just as a service provider, but as a strategic partner. When a recent customer faced part adhesion issues that threatened product viability, our team worked hand-in-hand to redesign and optimize the part for improved plating adhesion—reinforcing our reputation for hands-on, responsive problem-solving.
Thank You to Our Customers and Team
This award is a reflection of our customers’ trust and the dedication of our incredible team. From design consultation to final delivery, every member of the Professional Plating family works tirelessly to ensure repeatable quality, technical excellence, and outstanding service.
We’re grateful to Manufacturing Outlook for the recognition—and to our customers for nominating us and continuing to trust us with their most important projects.
