 About the Owner

Hi, I’m Philip Truax. I grew up in the machinist industry and have worked in one form or another in the industry since 1987. My experience includes various types of metal finishing and black oxide and worked with all types of metals. I have a relationship with many machine manufacturing companies including but not limited to companies handling NASA, NASCAR, military, and aerospace parts. 

With more than 25 years of experience, I’m positive we can provide a high-quality product combined with on-time shipping. It has always been my philosophy that if my product and anyone else’s were on a shelf, the customer would consistently select our product over our competitor.

We appreciate the opportunity to serve your black oxide and anodizing needs. We look forward to creating a mutually beneficial working relationship with your company.
