Plating, anodizing and passivation ten minutes from Pharr, at our McAllen plant. Built for cross-border work: US-side finishing on a tight turn, AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registered, ITAR registered.
Pharr sits on one of the busiest commercial crossings on the southern border, and the manufacturing around it reflects that: trailer and refrigeration equipment, material handling, structural and sheet metal work, and a steady flow of parts moving between plants on both sides. Finishing is often the step that forces those parts into a long supply loop. It does not have to.
Parts can be finished in the Valley and cross back without a multi-day trip to San Antonio, Houston or Dallas. Fewer freight moves means less transit damage and a schedule you can actually hold.
Zinc to ASTM B633 with trivalent chromates, and zinc-nickel to AMS 2417 where the service environment is harsher than plain zinc will carry. We will tell you honestly which one your part needs.
AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registered, ITAR registered and DFARS compliant, with controlled technical data handled under access control.
Our McAllen team works in English and Spanish. Prints, callouts and schedule conversations happen in whichever language your people use.
The McAllen plant is at 3800 W. Ursula Ave, a short run west along the US-83 corridor from Pharr. For cross-border programs that proximity is the whole point: the finishing step stops being the thing that adds days to the loop. Talk to us about release patterns and we will build a schedule around your crossings rather than around our queue.
We are a finisher, not a customs broker. We can work to your crossing schedule, but the import and export paperwork stays with you and your broker.
Yes. That is a large part of why the McAllen plant exists. We regularly finish parts for programs that move between plants on both sides of the river.
