METALAST, the leading innovator in technology, research, and process support to the aluminum anodizing industry, announces that current Licensees, Twin City Plating, Minneapolis, MN, Erie Plating, Erie, PA, and Highland Plating, Los Angeles, CA, have added additional METALAST anodizing lines.

Twin City Plating has contacted the Company in regards to adding an additional METALAST anodizing line at their Minneapolis facility. Twin City currently operates a METALAST type II, decorative, line and wishes to add Type III, hardcoat, capabilities to their operation. Twin City originally had the METALAST Technology installed in August 1999 and has been extremely pleased with the results and increased business since the implementation.
In addition, Erie Plating Company, Erie, PA, will be adding another Type II line at their plant at the end of the month. This addition comes after Erie’s first hand witnessing of the METALAST Technology producing a more consistent and uniform oxide at a rate of three (3) times faster than their current anodizing run time.

Highland Plating, Los Angeles, CA also had an additional METALAST anodizing line installed at their facility. Highland plans to enter the hardcoat anodizing market and saw the addition of a METALAST Type III line as a springboard. Highland has been very impressed with their current Type II line, which led to the request.

METALAST offers the most complete and advanced technology to the anodizing industry. In addition to the world’s only dedicated anodizing research and development center, the company provides advanced chemistry, computer process controls, education and training, and full technical and marketing support. The METALAST technology facilitates production of superior oxides and operating efficiencies with improved consistency, repeatability, and process verification. METALAST is offered under a license to anodizers. Manufacturers can access any element of the technology, e.g. R&D, technical support, education and training under agreement with the METALAST Consulting Agreement (MCA).
