Plating, anodizing, passivation and coating, roughly ten minutes from Garland. Gleco has run finishing lines in this corner of Dallas County since 1979, and today the third generation of family leadership runs the company. AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 registered, ITAR registered.
Garland has one of the densest concentrations of machine shops and electronics manufacturers in North Texas, and most of them need more than one finish. Running them through separate vendors costs time, freight and somebody to argue with when a part comes back wrong.
Zinc, zinc-nickel, nickel, tin, silver, gold and cadmium to specification, rack and barrel, at two Texas plants.
Type II sulfuric and Type III hardcoat on aluminum, plus chemical conversion coating per MIL-DTL-5541 where conductivity is the requirement.
Nitric and citric passivation of stainless to ASTM A967 and AMS 2700 — free iron removed and the passive layer allowed to reform.
Powder, industrial paint, CARC and Cerakote through Gleco Paint & Powder Coating, our coatings division in Rowlett.
Garland sits directly next to Rowlett. For most Garland shops we are the closest AS9100D registered finishing source there is, and close enough that a sample can be looked at the same afternoon rather than next week.
That proximity is worth using rather than just noting. Bring a sample before you release a production lot, walk an unusual job with us on the floor, and settle a masking or color question in person instead of over email. It costs an hour instead of a freight cycle.
About ten minutes. Our Rowlett plant is at 2220 Grisham Drive, immediately east of Garland, and we run a second plant in McAllen.
Yes, and that is the point of the under-one-roof arrangement. Plating, anodizing, passivation and coating all run inside one company — one purchase order, one traceability chain, one certificate of conformance, and nobody pointing at another vendor when something goes wrong.
Yes, subject to a minimum lot charge per process and a minimum per line item. We state both on the quotation rather than in the fine print, so you know before you order.
Part number and revision, quantity, the complete finish specification including class, type, grade and thickness where the spec requires them, any masking or selective-plate requirement, critical dimensions, any bake requirement, and any special test or certification.
AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015, ITAR registered and DFARS compliant. The certificate is downloadable from our certifications page and we will send it to your supplier quality group directly if that is what onboarding needs.
Garland parts come to Rowlett, where plating, anodizing, passivation and coating all happen on the same floor. That is the reason a multi-finish part does not have to travel.
Send the print and the specification. If you need more than one finish, say so — that is usually where we save you the most.
