Anoplate Corporation Revenue and Competitors

Anoplate was founded by Milt Stevenson, Sr., in 1960 to serve a growing need among what was then a very small, locally based machine shop and tool industry. Anoplate operates from a 104,000 square foot facility, single location in Central New York State. Anoplate offers metal finishing services including plating of copper, nickel, chromium, zinc, cadmium and tin, various types of anodizing of light metals, conversion coatings such as passivate and phosphating, dry film lubrication, small lot painting, and vacuum impregnation. Anoplate's reputation for quality and workmanship, diversity in process offered, and ability to meet rigid specifications has led it to serve a broad base of industries including aerospace, computers, defense, electronics, medical, optics, and recreation. Anoplate's growth phase began in the early-70's with the arrival of Roy Beechner as Plant Manager and the purchasing of the former Elmwood Plating Works. The firm's initial quality manual was issued in January of 1976. Growth accelerated throughout the 80's. Much of the new growth came from Fortune 500 firms and their suppliers who demanded more formalized quality systems and strict compliance with specification requirements. As Anoplate enters the new millennium, its 170+ employees are dedicated to continuing to prosper through delivery of world class finishing services and products.
