Industrial Plating & Shipping Services

 Getting Parts To and From Customers

The job isn’t complete until your parts are where they need to be. Plating is only half the job, getting parts to you (or your customer) should be just as easy. With a large off-street truck court, space for high-volume receiving, our own fleet for local customers, and the ability to drop-ship directly to your customers, your order keeps moving.

Full Truckload & High-Volume Shipping 

Handling volume shouldn’t slow your orders down. Our 210,000 sq. ft. facility is built to receive, stage, and process everything from weekly truckloads to smaller recurring shipments without one disrupting the other. Expansive staging areas and multiple receiving bays mean material is organized from the moment it arrives, so orders stay on track and ready for the next step.

  • Organized staging - parts are prepped and ready before carriers arrive.
  • Capacity that scales - truckloads move smoothly without pushing back smaller orders.
  • Reliable flow - high-volume processing keeps projects moving steadily through plating and shipping.

Central Chicago Location for Faster Shipping of Plating Orders

From our Chicago location, your parts are closer than you think, within a one-day drive of 65% of the U.S. That means shorter transit times, lower freight costs, and more reliable delivery to many major manufacturing hubs.
