At Ebco Metal Finishing (EMF) it is our commitment to provide customers with quality metal finishing and hot-dip galvanizing services at competitive prices. To achieve this, we maintain a highly skilled and efficient workforce, an in-house chemist and laboratory, and state-of-the-art facilities.

Experienced Staff

EMF has over 45 years of experience in metal finishing. Our completed projects range from large outdoor structures to very fine decorative coatings to close tolerance finishes for the high-tech industries. As a result, EMF understands the broad spectrum of metal fabrication and machining processes. We maintain our knowledge of the most current practices by regularly sending our staff to courses and seminars.

Production Capabilities

Our two plants totalling over 40,000 square feet are the largest facilities in Western Canada.This allows us to accommodate high volume production capacities and handle very large parts. Automatic hoists and barrel lines provide maximum efficiency and turn around speeds. Our galvanizing tanks accept parts up to 40 feet in length in a single dip (longer with double dip).

Quality

EMF is proud to be recognized for the quality of its metal finishing and its ability to meet the highest requirements of industry. Our equipment is programmable, providing accuracy and consistency of material processing. Brighter chemicals are automatically controlled, so that the elements are dispensed precisely for uniform brightness. Spot checks are performed constantly throughout the systems to ensure reliability. Even the cleaning is handled carefully, involving three distinct processes to ensure consistent results.

Our Chemist and Laboratory

We are one of the few plating operations in the region with a full time, in-house chemist. This expertise and a complete laboratory allow us to strictly monitor quality and analyze plating chemistry. We offer salt spray testing to ASTM B117 for corrosion resistant applications. Quality control is integrated into every process to ensure that our finishes conform to CSA, ASTM and military standards and specifications where applicable.

Environmental Standards

Our plant is equipped with up-to-date pollution control systems and we invest in strategies which ensure effective waste management. At EMF we work hard to maintain a clean and safe environment for our employees and the surrounding community. Meeting regulations and standards is simply the starting point of this commitment.
