Hi-Tech Plating®

A TRUSTED TEAM Our Team at Hi-Tech Plating® has over four decades of global supply chain, operations, and product and process technology experiences, as well as use of World Class Models — the Baldrige Excellence Framework, the Shingo Prize Criteria, and the Toyota Production System — to enable our never-ending pursuit of excellence. It is how we serve our lifetime global customers! A FAMILY LEGACY Hi-Tech Plating® was established in 1985 by Charles Weindorf, an electrical engineer, and his son, John, a skilled plating technologist. Their vision was to create a successful company to serve the manufacturing industry. In 1988, the company expanded its hard chrome operations by adding a second facility to support nickel coatings. Charles retired in 1990, and in 2000, John's daughter, Angela, and son, Marc, joined the team. Angela and Marc became managers of the business in 2008. Their focus was to provide superior quality in the most cost-effective and efficient manner. In 2014, Angela and Marc purchased Hi-Tech Plating® and envisioned further innovations in manufacturing efficiency without sacrificing the company’s exceptional quality standards. They focused on maintaining a team of specialized, empowered employees working together in a team environment. In 2019, Angela and Marc sold Hi-Tech Plating® to another Pennsylvania family who was best suited to nurture and grow the customers and team. Angela and Marc were looking for a values match in a buyer, and Harry Zechman was looking for a values match in a seller. Angela, Marc and Harry were pleased with the outcome and the smooth transition. In 2021, we added a new technology capability — Hi-Performance Films™. These thin films have extremely high hardness, low friction, increased wear resistance and prevent oxidation. Hi-Tech Plating® is now able to produce a wide variety of thin films for many applications to help our global customers. Our processes are environmentally friendly, and customer-focused!
