Larry Dietz, General Manager at Professional Plating in Brillion, Wisconsin, chats with Shop Talk about recent additions to the finishing lines and a few refurbishments. Dietz says they have spent nearly $25 million in line additions and upgrades over the past 10 years. This year, they added a new e-coat line and a new zinc barrel line. About 35% of the parts finished at Professional Plating are shipped directly to the client’s customers, so having large enough shipping and receiving areas—as well as a large warehouse to store the product—has been crucial to the company’s growth.
