After initial fact finding meetings in November 1998, Santa Clara Plating has shown a tremendous interest in METALAST and the Technology. Santa Clara has submitted several difficult part samples to the Tech Center for processing and demonstration of METALAST’s significant capabilities on real work.

Tom Coss, President of Santa Clara Plating, has always been very enthusiastic and supportive of the overall METALAST Technology. In December, Santa Clara visited the Tech Center for technical discussions with METALAST Tech Support and R&D.
