We are thrilled to share a pivotal moment in the evolution of Hard Chrome Enterprises, Inc. (HCE)—our acquisition of Action Plating Corporation. This strategic move is about more than just growth; it’s about strengthening our commitment to delivering industry-leading plating, finishing, and aerospace-certified repair services. With expanded capacity, enhanced capabilities, and an even stronger technical team, we are better positioned than ever to serve you.
A Powerful Combination of Expertise and Legacy
For years, HCE has been a trusted name in electroplating, electropolishing, and non-destructive testing, providing essential surface treatment solutions across the aerospace, automotive, firearms, medical, and consumer industries. Now, with the addition of Action Plating, we are expanding our range of services, increasing production space, and deepening our technical expertise to serve you with even greater precision and efficiency.
Action Plating has built a sterling reputation for its commitment to precision plating, meticulous quality control, and outstanding customer service. Founded on a legacy of excellence by the Bain family, the company has thrived under the leadership of the four Bain brothers, who upheld their father’s vision and elevated Action Plating to new heights of craftsmanship and reliability.
We are honored that the Bain family will continue their journey with us, staying on board to help lead and grow Action Plating into a new era of success under the HCE umbrella. Their expertise, passion, and dedication to quality will remain integral to our mission.
