Finishing

Finish it before it crosses the border

Keep coating in the same scope as your fabrication, with one schedule, one set of inspections and fewer handoffs.

Why it matters

Less handling, less damage

  • Coating inspection can be part of the same release as fabrication.
  • Finished parts ship directly with planned crating and load securing.
  • One contact when a coating or fit issue needs fixing.
