Superior Plating9 Inc.

Minneapolis, MN

Consistent high quality work with a broad choice of metal finishes has made Superior Plating, Inc. one of the largest job shop metal finishers in the country.

Superior is also a leader in environmental control and employee safety, going beyond compliance to reduce the exposure of employees and community to hazardous materials.

The company’s new Finishing Equipment solvent degreaser plays a key role in its commitment to reduce emissions to the environment, eliminate operator’s exposure to solvent vapors, and at the same time, increase the production rate.

How successful is Superior’s program ? The company received the EPA’ s coveted “Hammer Award,” signed by Vice President Al Gore.

According to Superior’s President McMonagle, “After trying several other cleaning alternatives, we concluded we must stay with solvent degreasing if we wished to maintain our high standards and customer satisfaction. From both the environmental and production viewpoint, the Finishing Equipment degreasing system is among the best equipment purchases we’ve made in nearly 80 years in business.”
