Empire Hard Chrome

Empire Hard Chrome Plating uses proprietary plating processes to extend wear life and prevent corrosion on many types of parts, in many industries.   Empire gives customers the best of both worlds.  At 125,000 square feet, with 18 tanks that plate large runs of production parts as well as parts up to 45 feet in length and 30 tons in weight, we are the largest job shop of our type on the continent with a virtually-unparalleled tank and lift capacity.  Yet our high level of service reflects our six decades of family ownership.  Our two Chicago, Illinois chrome plating plants run 24/7/365 to serve you, our customers.  We are the hard chrome plating choice for customers as close as Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio, and throughout North America.  Our size and capacity, along with our personal service and technical expertise, allows us to serve you better than local sources, and offer superior, yet economical, treatment options that render better results.   Whether you are a Fortune 500 company or a much smaller shop you will work directly with our top management, who together have 40+ years of technical expertise.  This hands-on experience makes a critical difference; it often allows us to notice a potential problem prior to it occurring, and to tell you how we’ll solve it for you because we’ve solved it for others in the past.   Everyone on the team goes above and beyond to show you why Empire maintains a top customer retention rate in the industry.  Empire has a solution that will save you time and money.
