Plating, anodizing and passivation run at our McAllen plant, about fifteen minutes from Edinburg. AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registered, ITAR registered, with the finishing done in the Valley instead of trucked to San Antonio or Houston.
Edinburg is the county seat of Hidalgo County and carries a broad mix of light manufacturing, equipment fabrication and machine work. Most of it needs the same three things from a finisher: the right specification, documentation an auditor will accept, and a turnaround that does not add a week of freight in each direction.
Zinc, zinc-nickel, cadmium, electroless nickel, sulfamate nickel, bright nickel, chem film, Type II and Type III anodize, nitric passivation, tin, gold and silver all run at McAllen. A part needing two finishes does not need two vendors.
AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registered, ITAR registered and DFARS compliant. Every order ships with a Certificate of Conformance referencing the exact specification and revision your purchase order invokes.
Send the print. If the callout is wrong, obsolete or impossible on your substrate, you will hear that before the parts arrive rather than after the first article fails.
Our McAllen team works in English and Spanish, which matters when your engineers, buyers and drivers do too.
The McAllen plant sits at 3800 W. Ursula Ave, a short run south from Edinburg. For most Edinburg shops that is a same-morning drop and a same-week return, without a part ever leaving Hidalgo County. The alternative most Valley manufacturers have lived with is shipping to San Antonio, Houston or Dallas and adding several days of transit in each direction, plus the handling damage that comes with it.
Not sure whether a finish runs at McAllen or Rowlett? A few processes are plant-specific. Send the print and we will route it and tell you which plant it runs in.
Talk to us about the schedule. Most Edinburg customers drop parts at the McAllen plant on Ursula Avenue because it is a fifteen-minute drive, but routing depends on volume and how often you release.
