Why Partner with Kapco for Integrated Finishing?
Industrial finishing is most valuable when it’s fully integrated into the manufacturing process, not managed by another supplier.
COMPLETE MANUFACTURING WITH ONE PROVIDER
Components move directly from stamping, fabrication, machining, or welding into finishing without leaving our facility. Eliminating additional transportation and supplier handoffs improves communication, reduces lead times, and strengthens quality throughout the manufacturing process.
The Right Finish for Every Application
Whether your product requires the durability of powder coating, the corrosion protection of E-Coat, or the flexibility of liquid paint, our team works with customers to select the finishing system that best meets their performance, appearance, and environmental requirements.
Surface Preparation Matters
Every quality finish begins with proper pretreatment. Our controlled surface preparation process creates the foundation for maximum coating adhesion, corrosion resistance, and long-term product performance.
Engineering-Driven Manufacturing
Because finishing is integrated into the manufacturing process, our engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams collaborate throughout production to ensure coating requirements are considered from the earliest stages of product development.
Family-Owned. Built for the Long Term.
As a second-generation, family-owned manufacturer, we continue investing in our people, technology, and manufacturing capabilities to support long-term customer success.
A Great Coating Does More Than Look Good
It takes a high-quality finish that protects components, enhances durability, and prepares them for final assembly or delivery. Kapco provides integrated industrial finishing, including powder coating, electrocoating (E-Coat), and liquid paint, through our family of companies.
Finishing Services
Kapco offers multiple finishing technologies to support a broad range of customer applications and performance requirements.
Powder Coating
Powder coating provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and long-term performance for components operating in demanding environments. Ideal for agricultural equipment, construction machinery, industrial products, and structural components, powder coating delivers a uniform, durable finish designed to withstand harsh operating conditions.
Electrocoating (E-Coat)
Electrocoating (E-Coat) provides outstanding corrosion protection by applying a uniform coating over every surface, including recessed areas, interior cavities, and complex geometries that traditional spray methods cannot consistently reach. Widely used throughout the automotive industry, E-Coat delivers exceptional coverage, consistent film thickness, and long-term corrosion protection while serving as an excellent standalone finish or foundation for additional topcoat systems.
Liquid Paint
When applications require OEM color matching, specialized coating systems, or customer-specific appearance requirements, our liquid paint capabilities provide flexible finishing solutions engineered for long-term performance.
Surface Pretreatment
Long-term coating performance depends on proper surface preparation. Our pretreatment process thoroughly cleans and prepares every component prior to coating, maximizing adhesion, corrosion resistance, and finish durability. Proper pretreatment is built into every manufacturing program requiring a finished surface.
