MORE THAN 40 YEARS OF ENGINEERING SURFACES TO OUTLAST


TS Tech Nickel was founded in 1983 as a small electroless nickel plating shop serving the manufacturers of Southwest Michigan. Through hard work by a lot of dedicated employees and a focus on customer service, the business grew and expanded, ultimately needing to move to its current location and adding several new surface treatment technologies such as salt bath nitriding, hard chrome plating, and the proprietary Tech-Kote® anti-weld spatter technology.
The business has not lost sight of what led to this sustained success, still focusing on the customer and still providing best-in-class surface treatment solutions. Now owned by the world leader in surface treatment and tribological solutions, HEF Groupe, TS Tech Nickel is now a part of a global family that provides many additional solutions that can be offered to its loyal customer base.
