We offer custom fabricated fixtures based off of your model. The fixtures are designed, produced and qualified in house.

We recommend powders based on the parts application. For indoor parts regularly exposed to machinery or oil, we would recommend an epoxy powder as it excels in oil resistance. On the other hand, if your part is for outdoor use, we would offer a Polyester based powder due to its high UV resistance as well as its durability, hardness, and longevity. Both types of powder come in a large variety of colors.
