Company Overview

America's Best Quality Coatings (ABQC) Corporation is one of the premier metal finishing companies in the United States. Its operation comprises 250,000 square feet, making it one of the largest metal finishing facilities in all of North America. The company currently employs more than 50 people.

ABQC is in the process of executing an aggressive growth plan and has more than doubled its revenue in the last three. This growth rate is expected to continue. The company completed the acquisitions of major competitors in years 2002 and 2005. In addition to winning large blocks of business on the open market, the company plans to integrate several captive plating operations and competitive acquisitions into its facility during the next 36 months.

ABQC provides zinc, tin, silver, copper, tin-cobalt and zinc-nickel plating, as well as phosphating, chromate conversion, and black oxide coatings, passivation, bright dipping, vibratory deburring, and wax and oil finishing using 14 automated and 5 manual production lines.

These services are provided primarily to an elite group of customers, many of which are among the Fortune 1000. ABQC serves the telecommunications, data storage, automotive, industrial automation, consumer products, lawn and garden, building products and hardware industries.

The company's commitment to environmental excellence is unparalleled. Its waste treatment system, capable of treating 500 gallons of effluent per minute, is one of the largest metal finishing waste treatment operations in the world. The system includes a custom computer program that monitors the entire waste treatment system on a real-time basis. The company has an exemplary environmental record and a solid relationship with its POTW, the state DNR and the federal EPA. ABQC will achieve ISO 14001 registration in the coming months.

The company operates a robust quality system that has been ISO registered since 1996 when ABQC became one of the first metal finishers in the U.S. to earn ISO registration. The company achieved registration to the ISO 9001:2000 standard in 2003. ABQC's quality lab includes all appropriate measuring and test equipment, including a brand new x-ray fluorescence thickness and composition testing unit.

The company places a strong emphasis on process control. All processes and production lines are fully documented and all process tanks are labeled in detail. Chemical additions, adjustments and analysis are performed to predetermined schedules. The company has a stand-alone chemical laboratory, including an atomic absorption unit, a salt spray chamber, a humidity chamber, hull cell and colorimetric titration equipment.

ABQC supports the finishing industry in many ways, including active involvement in the leadership of the American Electroplaters and Surface Finishers Society.
